Not if you were an employee of the entity issuing the stipend.It will depend on the circumstances under which the stipend was issued.According to the IRS:A stipend is defined as a fixed sum of money paid periodically for services or to defray expenses. The fact that remuneration is termed a "fee" or "stipend" rather than salary or wages is immaterial. Wages are generally subject to employment taxes and should be reported on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.Refer to Publication 15, Circular E, Employer's Tax Guide,section 5, Wages and Other Compensation, for rules on accountable and nonaccountable plans for employee business expenses.The income from stipends is reportable. Is the stipend or fee paid to an employee or an independent contractor reportable? The answer to this question determines the way that the stipend is reported. See also the section entitled Employee vs. Independent Contractor.
Your premise is wrong. FICA is paid on FICA wages (different than reportable income in many ways), and is paid by everyone up to a certain FICA wage limit, which increases with cost of living...currently about 102K a year. If your seldf employed, you pay essentially 2x as much as an employee...because the company of an employee pays half the total 15.3% total tax. (So the owner of your company pays 7.65% FICA for each of his employees).

No reportable taxable income to be entered on a income tax return would be a good start of not being required to file a federal income tax return.
Sure...as long as the reimbursement is done within the amounts and documentation requirements (which of course can be complex, especially if it requires maintaining a "qualified plan"), and specific, the amount reimbursed is deductible to the employer AND not reportable as payroll or income by the employee.

Being a vested employee means that your rights to pension benefits are paid up and therefore not contingent on the employee's continuing in the service of the employer. Erisa (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) stipulates that employees be at least 25% vested in benefits derived from employer contributions after 5 years. By the time the employee has worked for 15 years their vesting must have risen to 100%.
