My wife and I are Indian citizens filing jointly as residents for tax purposes. My wife was a student pursuing PhD in Spring 2010. She received around $8000 as taxable fellowship, of which $1,300 was deducted as non-resident taxes. She also paid around $1200 as tuition fees for that semester. She received a w-2 (which does not report the scholarship) from her new employer and has not received the 1098-T as she is a non-resident alien.
The questions I had were:
1. Can I use the tuition deduction?
2. How and where do I report the scholarship and the tax paid?
3. Should I deduct the tax and tuition paid from the scholarship before I add to wages on W-2?
