The Big Questions About Scholarship Taxability

Updated February 2021

Throughout the 2020-21 school year, thousands of students and families have dealt with new circumstances and changed plans. Virtual campuses, closures, transferring or taking a gap year can all have an effect on student financial situations—and, in some cases, may have unexpected tax implications. Here are some of the most pressing questions we’ve heard regarding scholarships and taxation right now.

Do college students have to file tax returns?
Is my private scholarship taxable?
Do I have to pay taxes on COVID-19 relief funds?

Virtual campuses, sudden closures, transferring or taking a gap year can all have an effect on student finances and scholarship taxability.

There's still time to make a resolution:
We want you to resolve to SHOP LOCAL!

Here are some factoids from SCORE:
91% of Americans shop at a small business at least once a week
47% frequent small businesses 2-4 times weekly
17% more than 4 times a week

Local Shoppers’ Favorite Destinations:
Independently-owned bakeries (40%)
Clothing, accessory and shoe stores (40%)
Restaurants, bars and pubs (37%)
Bookstores (32%)
Gift, novelty and souvenir stores (30%)

Small businesses keep money in the community
For every $1 you spend at a small business:
67 cents stays in the local community
44 cents goes to the small business owner and employees wages and benefits
23 cents gets reinvested in other local businesses

And that $1 creates an additional 50 cents of local economic impact
30 cents is spent by the small business owner on local vendors
20 cents is spent by the owner and employees locally

The City of Fremont has proclaimed Executive Order, “EO 2020-03,” (http://fremont.gov/ExecutiveOrderFaceCoverings) requiring the use of face coverings at certain essential places of business to protect workers and the public and prevent community spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). The places of business identified in the Executive Order include those where members of the public may still be visiting for essential services during this time. Workers at these businesses must wear face coverings over their noses and mouths while performing their jobs. These face coverings must be provided by their employer and are not required to be medical-grade masks or N95 respirators; cloth coverings, such as scarves and bandanas, are suitable.

All customers/consumers and visitors of the identified businesses and organizations must also wear face coverings to provide additional protection for employees and other customers, and may be refused admission or service if they fail to wear a face covering. In addition, employers of all essential workers must permit their employees to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer at least every 30 minutes.

As stated in the Executive Order, the new regulations are effective immediately and apply to people within the City of Fremont until the local emergency is declared over, or unless otherwise stated.

Please read the full news release that goes into detail and provides a list of places where this applies for everyone to where face coverings: www.fremont.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1751
