Best Answer

Understanding one's tuition expenses and the source that pays them is essential for filing taxes. If you are using a grant to pay for your room and board in college, then this income may be considered taxable income. This is usually quite a surprise for students in college or grad school. A lot of students are under the impression that a grant is completely non-taxable income. The truth is that a grant is a form of income that may be taxed if it is not used for tuition or book expenses. If you have questions about your grant, then you should contact a tax professional.

Student Tip: Understand Work-Study Arrangements?

When filing taxes, students should be aware that income derived from a work-study arrangement may still be taxable. A lot of students make the mistaken assumption that this income is not taxable since it is often used to pay for tuition expenses. If a student has a question on how this income is taxed, then he or she should consult with the director of a work-study program. These directors are knowledgeable about the ways in which this income is taxed. A director can be your best source of information for filing taxes that involve work-study income. You should also find this information out before taking a work-study job.

Student Tip: Figure Out Your Filing Status?

When filing the tax return form 1040, students will need to make a bit of an effort to determine what their filing status will be. This can mean that a student has to discuss a parent's financial situation with him or her. A lot of parents do not enjoy discussing finances with children in the family. However, a student must figure out if a parent is entitled to claim him or her as a dependent. If a parent covers more than 50% of a student's expenses in school, then that parent is entitled to claim the child as a dependent.
