These assistantships also come with a tuition waiver, valued at ~$12K-$50K/
year, depending on the public-or-private, in-state-or-out-of-state
institution. Currently, these tuition waivers are paid by the college
directly to itself, on behalf of the graduate student, and are not counted
as taxable income. Under the new GOP tax plan, however, those tuition
waivers would be taxed as regular income, making graduate school an
unaffordable proposition except for those already independently wealthy.
...
Now, imagine if the rules were changed. Imagine that you still earned the
same stipend, but were forced to treat your tuition-and-fees as taxable
income as well. For our three cases, the amount of taxes you owe to the
government on an annual basis would change dramatically:
University of Florida (in-state): $1,424/year currently; $4,052/year under
the new plan.
University of Florida (out-of-state): $1,424/year currently; $7,617/year
under the new plan.
Princeton University: $2,849/year currently; $13,499/year under the new plan.
为什么对穷学生要这么做？难道差这么一点点税吗。
我觉得这一条肯定不会过...
