Question
I am an international student. I am a USA resident for tax purpose this year. I have some questions please help me, thank you!
I have two sources of income in 2020:
1. a merit-based scholarship from San Francisco State University
2. I am a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Texas at San Antonio starting in September 2020.
Details about my income:
1. A merit-based scholarship from SF State University, I have a form 1098-T for that.
2. A tuition payment (for Fall 2020) for the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), I have a form 1098-T for that.
3. Monthly payment for my "salary" from my graduate school funding. I have a form W2 for that.
4. I have a $1000 merit-based scholarship from UTSA. But I don't have any paperwork from UTSA for this one.
5. I have a $4000 supplement from UTSA, I also don't have any paperwork for that.
So based on this, Turbotax filed a Form 1040, Form 8917, and California Form 540NR. However, these forms didn't explain the point 4 and 5 I described above. Also my tax return is $2280, it is too high to be true, so I doubt there are some mistakes in the completed paperwork, please someone help me thank you!
