Best Answer

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.

Does winnings from the casino count as earned income for my social security?

Gambling proceeds are not considered earned income if you do not report the income a self-employment income. Professional gamblers report gambling as self-employment income in order to deduct travel and other expenses as well as to establish retirement accounts and show the income as a part of an ongoing source of income in order to qualify for bank loans. Recreational gambling income, including lottery winnings, are not considered earned income.The distinction between earned income and ordinary income is for such issues as earned income tax credit and qualifying for social security benefits.Almost any source of money, including gambling winnings, is going to be income. The money would be called unearned income in this case. Consult the SSIC office for the publications that can give you all the details.
