Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 1019051, member: 3609"] I believe I read on another board that the parts of any type of scholarship that pay for tuition, fees, room, board, and books are not taxable under the current law (i.e., it specifically states scholarships are not taxable rather than having it be someone's interpretation of the tax law). If the NCAA does allow stipends in the future, I would assume the tax situation would be the same as academics who now get stipends as part of their scholarships/fellowships. If in the future someone at IRS said the scholarship is now income from working for the school, I'm sure that the defense argument would be that it's really the same as employer-paid/-reimbursed educational expenses that many companies offer as a benefit. I'll defer to a tax attorney regarding the tax status for that situation. [/QUOTE]
