IRS Tax Notice

Post by Scholar2016 »

I recently received a letter from the IRS claiming that I may have made a mistake on my taxes. Long story short: I recieved a 1099 MISC with the stipend in box 7. I reported this income on line 21 of my 2017 1040 and wrote "SCH". The letter from the IRS stated that I should have listed the funds as SE income. The following link highlights a similar situation that was resolved and includes the letter written to the IRS to justify that the scholarship was not self employment. I will update this thread to let you guys know if I have luck with my situation
