How do bar stipends work?

Post by Anonymous User » Tue May 17, 2022 12:19 pm

If a firm issues a bar stipend, is it normal for the amount you receive to decrease by almost a half due to tax deductions (federal and state income, medicare, social security taxes)?

Do you get any more money later that is made through tax returns when you file and report the stipend amount?
