Is a foreign exchange student stipend taxable?

Most programs that give a stipend send a 1099 misc to the host family, which translates into a self employed business. So, save receipts for food and transportation to use for deductions. Also, a portion of your home expenses can be used as in a home business. Or you can deduct the amount you could charge for renting the same room, plus the food and transportation expenses. If you don't go that route, you'll end up paying back a third of your stipend in taxes.


Do you have to pay back FAFSA money if not used for school?

If a student accepts what's called a stipend check (the amount of excess Stafford Loan money sent to the student once college expenses have been deducted) then it does count as part of the student loan. Students are responsible for paying back the entire student loan plus interest whether it was spent on educational expenses or not. It is wise to return stipend checks and decrease the amount of student loans you take out.

What is the us host paid for an exchange student?

It depends upon the specific program.Host families are traditionally not paid. They are volunteers whom take exchange students into their homes as part of the family.However, programs usually provide a stipend, which depends upon the length of time the student stays in their home.For example, I hosted a student for 2 days, and was given 60 dollars.But when you host students over a longer period of time, the stipend grows.This stipend is for expenses the family has because of the student. Such as buying them food, running the water bill higher, extra electricity, etc.Not as payment to the family for hosting. (sorry dude)Sometimes, you can also choose whether to take the stipend, or have it donated.My family hosts exchange students through the school, and we can choose to donate our stipend to the school.
