[quote=Anonymous]^^TA/RA with a W2 was fine. It was just the federal fellowships (NSF and NIH) that were a bit of a mess. In postdoc my advisor had dual affiliation with UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. I was first employed as a normal W2 employee at LBNL. Then I got an NIH fellowship and switched by affiliation to UC Berkeley, but since Berkeley is unionized to pay above the NIH payscale, I got an additional W2 from Berkeley in addition to my NIH fellowship. Of course taxes were not withheld from my fellowship, but were from my W2s. My fellowship was FICA inelligible, but my W2 work wasn't. And I had two W2s and an additional form. Anyway, I had to do a lot of finagling with TurboTax to get it all to work out.[/quote]
