Solutions

Expert Solution

Adrian received a total of $13,700 and spent $9,650 ($3,700 + $3,750 + $1,000 + $1,200) on tuition, books, and supplies. The amount received for room and board is not excludible from gross income. Therefore, he must include $4,050 ($13,700 − $9,650) in gross income. When he received the money in 2018, Adrian’s total expenses for the period covered by the scholarship were not known. Therefore, he is allowed to defer reporting the income until 2019, when all the uncertainty is resolved.


Adrian can defer reporting the income until 2019 when all the uncertainty is resolved.
