#  Are there IRS publications, which can help me to prepare my personal income tax return, showing fellowship income?  

 



In preparing your personal income tax return, please consult with your own tax advisor, because University Financial Services is not authorized to provide individual tax advice. You may, however, find it helpful to read the IRS publication relevant to your personal situation:

• If you are a U. S. citizen or resident for tax purposes, who received   
fellowship amounts for studying, teaching or researching in the U. S., then   
see IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, which is available at   
<http://www.irs.gov/publications/p970/index.html>   
  
• If you are a U. S. citizen or resident alien for tax purposes, who received   
fellowship amounts for studying, teaching or researching outside the U. S.,   
then see Publication 54, Tax Guide for U. S. Citizens and Resident Aliens   
Abroad, which is available at <http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p54.pdf>.   
   
• If you are a nonresident alien for U. S. tax purposes, who received   
fellowship amounts for studying, teaching or researching in the U. S., then   
see Publication 519, U. S. Tax Guide for Aliens, which is available at   
<http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p519.pdf>.   
   
• Federal income tax forms and publications can be downloaded from the   
IRS web site at <http://www.irs.gov>   
  
• Massachusetts income tax forms and publications can be downloaded   
from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) web site at   
<http://www.dor.state.ma.us/forms/FormsMenu2.htm>.
