I received a PhD fellowship (beyond tuition and fees) which I classified under miscellaneous income for my federal tax return. However, my Pennsylvania state return is asking for business information related to this miscellaneous income. Do I select, "Do not report this business on this return?"

It depends upon where you entered the miscellaneous income.

Since the income is not from self-employment, you can report it in the federal interview section.

Select Income & Expenses
Go to the  All Income section and select Less Common Income
Select Miscellaneous Income

You will then select Other reportable income to enter your income from your 1099-Misc. Be sure to mark that it was not earned as part of business.

This will allow you to report the income and not reflect it as being from a business activity.
