Need help. This is my first assignment out of state, but it’s only 60 miles from my home and I wasn’t going to need housing. How do these stipends work and what do I need for tax purposes? Also, if I don’t use the whole stipend, does this mean the amount I don’t use will be taxed when I file my taxes? Is it taxed like regular income at that time of tax filing. Thanks to anybody that can help answer this. This is the part I have been so confused about. I asked the agency if they could make this all taxable and treat it like a local contract, but I haven’t heard anything back.
