Do I have to report any grants, scholarships, or fellowships to the IRS as income?
It depends. Part or all of a grant, scholarship, or fellowship may be taxable.
The Office of Financial Aid is not authorized to give students and families tax advice, but, in general, amounts you use for expenses other than tuition and course-related expenses (e.g. amounts used for housing, meals, and travel) are considered taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The University of Michigan will issue you a Form 1098-T each calendar year. This is available to download from Wolverine Access and can used to help determine reporting obligations, if any, on scholarships, fellowships, and grants.
Contact the Internal Revenue Service for more detailed information. IRS Publication 970 also provides more information on tax benefits for education.
