Question

I'm a graduate assistant for a PA state university. I'm trying to find out what code I use for box 12, but it is blank on my W-2. What do I put?

If there is nothing entered in Box 12, this section should be skipped.

 

If your graduate assistant income is in combination with scholarships or stipends, the income reporting is affected by whether you are still claimed as a dependent. See this article for more details: I am a graduate assistant that receives a stipend..

 

For the most recent details regarding graduate student income, see: Are my scholarships, fellowships, or grants taxable?
