I've read responses for similar posts that say stipends can be reported as misc income if intent is not to make $$$. This is a research stipend. Thanks very much.

Any portion of your fellowship that must be reported as income will be reported on Line 8 of Schedule 1. Please refer to IRS Topic No. 421 Scholarships, Fellowship Grants, and Other Grants for clarification.

Follow the instructions below to enter your fellowship income:

Launch TurboTax
Select Wages & Income
Scroll down to Less Common Income (it’s at the bottom)
Select start next to Miscellaneous income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Select start next to Other reportable Income
Enter Fellowship Income as the description and the amount of your fellowship income

Your fellowship income will be reported on Line 8 of Schedule 1 and will not be subject to self-employment taxes (Social security and Medicare).
