Yes. Any money received as the result of work (i.e. Work-Study employment, temporary employment on- or off-campus, some fellowships, etc.) is considered taxable income. You will be asked to file a withholding form (W-4) and you will receive a statement of income and taxes withheld form (W-2) each calendar year. Your taxable earnings from need-based employment must also be reported on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). Questions regarding your withholding status should be directed to the University Payroll Office.
