[Bgsa] Graduate Fellowship tax questions

[Andrew Stoehr]

Grad students,

Some of you may have had problems figuring out how to deal with your 
taxes, especially if you are on fellowships because it usually isn't 
clear what is and what is not taxable.  I wrote to Linda Scott, 
Director of Student Affairs, Fellowships, and Employment in Grad 
Division, to see if she could help or suggest somebody who could.  My 
best interpretation of her response is "Screw you", but I've pasted the 
exchange below in case some of you are able to get more out of it than 
I did.

Andrew
