The University does not withhold taxes or report your fellowship or training grant on a Form W-2. However, unless you are a candidate for a degree and use the fellowship to pay for qualified educational expenses, the fellowship is considered taxable income to you. IRS Publication 970 (PDF) provides details on the taxability of fellowships.
If your pay statement reflects that you received other compensation for services performed during the calendar year in addition to your fellowship or training grant, these earnings will be reported to you on a Form W-2.
If you receive multiple different payment types and/or transfer to a different position throughout the calendar year, please review this additional taxation information.
Postdoctoral scholar payments are not reported on a Form W-2; however, postdoctoral scholars may receive a Form W-2 with no wage or tax information. The only information reported would be in Box 14 with code DD. This is correct as only the information listed in Box 14 with code DD is Form W-2 reportable.
Foreign nationals can review additional foreign national taxation information for postdoctoral scholars, predoctoral fellows, and trainees.
