2013 NSF REU Stipend reported on a 1099-MISC in Box 7 ? Independent Conractor ?

<p>Update, and not a good one:</p>

<p>As I reported on the DRT thread, the data that was transferred via the DRT was not the same information that I filed for my D1. That’s because, as I found out today when I checked on her refund, the IRS changed her return after accepting it, from a small refund to a several hundred dollar payment. Now they are sending a letter later in the month, and I have to wait until then to see if I can actually talk to them and if they will reconsider. My assumption is that the change is because of the stipend money, as her only other sources of income were a few hundred in WS and a few dollars of interest, and no other complicating factors.</p>

<p>Hopefully I can get this all cleared up in time to file Fed and State taxes as well as redoing FA by April 15.</p>
