uhm... I disagree. DS has requested a w-2 each year to cover pay received during CULP, CLC etc. stipend has never shown up on the w-2. I too am not a tax attorney...but I did stay at Holiday Inn Express last night...

Ditto for my DS's W-2's.

I too am not a tax attorney but I play one on TV.

I also disagree with Whitewolf. The stipend (subsistence allowance) is not taxable based on the IRS link that Capt MJ posted.
To quote the IRS:
"ROTC Students Subsistence allowances paid to ROTC students participating in advanced training are not taxable. However, active duty pay – such as pay received during summer advanced camp – is taxable."

I am not a tax attorney either, but I do make a living out of financial planning and watch a lot of sports on TV.
