Graduate students, you have to do some number-crunching with your higher education-related income and expenses before you start preparing your tax return to get an accurate tax return and minimized tax burden. I created a workshop to help you with that!
Fellows, if you aren’t having income tax automatically withheld from your stipend/salary, you may be responsible for paying quarterly estimated tax. You should use Form 1040-ES to calculate whether you have to pay estimated tax and in what amount. For help with Form 1040-ES, check out this workshop! (Current product is for 2018. If you purchase it now, you will receive the 2019 version in March.)
