There are a couple of different ways to track the stipend income you receive throughout the calendar year. The best method is to keep a weekly record of the stipend payments you receive from your host family(ies) during the January to December months. There is a stipend payment tracking form available which you can use to track these payments, or if you prefer, you can track them yourself in a different format, such as Excel. Alternatively, if you are able to have your host family(ies) provide a signed year-to-date pay statement that would work as well.
Lastly, in very few situations a W-2 is received. If you received a W-2, simply let us know in the tax organizer and you do not need to worry about providing us additional information related to your stipends.
