Tax Implications for Postdocs on Fellowships
We cannot give and we are not providing tax advice.
We are conducting a short survey to understand specifically what issues are faced by postdocs on fellowships and how the university policy can help make it better.
Here is some information and resources from our current research:
- Health Insurance Premium as taxable income for postdocs on fellowships – it’s a maybe and dependent on a lot of factors – Defined by IRS
- We need better delineation of these policies by Stanford
- We need discounted Tax Advisor Assistance – Some version of this exists (Postdoc Assistance Program)
- Check Harvard resources that explain this situation better
- Tax Workshops
- GREAT ARTICLE on this topic
