New Tax law on Taxable scholarships

[twoinanddone]

is the question still outstanding as to whether or not students who are on full-ride athletic scholarships at schools that normally charge more than $12,000 for the R&B portion, will starting in 2018 find this amount to be taxed at the trust rates?

Athletic scholarships aren’t treated differently than any other scholarship. If the amount covers room and board, it’s taxed, if it covers tuition it isn’t.
