Please check your stipend pay stub for payments received between October and December 2004 for correct tax withholdings. Remember that Other Reasonable Costs (ORCs) are not taxable. There was a system glitch affecting Scholars randomly that is being corrected for January payments. However, if you did not have taxes withheld and should have, you will need to make sure you account for this money when you do your 2004 tax returns.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your analyst or the In School/In Training branch at 1-800-793-1547.
