I am an Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) fellow and I receive a taxable stipend (taxes are not withheld and I do not get a W-2). I am also a graduate student and I received a scholarship from the school. Do I enter that the taxable stipend amount and the school scholarship under Deductions & Credits --> Education Expenses? Or do I have to put the scholarship under education and the taxable stipend under Less Common Income? I had to upgrade to the TurboTax Deluxe to be able to look through the sections on Less Common Income and I still am unable to find a specific section for Taxable Scholarship and Fellowships. Thanks!

The steps for entering the scholarship amount not included in your 1098-T into TurboTax is as follows:

Federal Taxes
Wages and Income
Miscellaneous Income
Other income not already reported
Answer Yes to Did you receive any other wages?
On the screen for Wages Earned as a Household Employee click continue without entering amount in box shown
On the screen for Sick or Disability Pay click continue without entering amount in box shown
Answer Yes to Did you earn other wages?
Choose the option Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen
Then you will enter SCH in the description box and the amount
Click Done
