Please note that awards issued directly to individuals, as opposed to universities, are considered taxable income under U.S. federal tax law. As required by the IRS, ACSM will issue you a Form 1099-MISC for the tax year in which you receive the funds if the total amount you receive exceeds $600.
We recommend consulting a tax professional to understand how this award may impact your individual tax situation.
