Graduate Assistant stipends generally count as taxable income. Graduate assistants should be prepared to fill out New Hire documents. This includes tax and banking documents. The graduate assistant should be working with Human Resources to make sure that these documents are completed.
International Graduate Assistants often find state and federal tax requirements especially difficult to understand. For more information, please consult Human Resources International Staff and Students page Tax Information for Foreign Nationals.
In addition, the Center for International Education maintains a guide to Tax Resources for international students.
See the US taxes and the Glacier Tax Compliance System section of this guide for International Students.
