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.
