None of them really know, but none have been audited to find out. I would be curious on any experience in this area from others. The two instances I can recall off hand are: Claiming that grant-supported salary payments for summer (non-teaching) periods are fellowships, and tax exempt up to some limit. Claiming that sabatical pay is under some circumstances tax exempt for similar reasons. The reasoning is similar to that behind tax free graduate fellowships, but I have no idea of the legal reasoning behind the arguments. Any comments? -- Warren Montgomery ihnss!warren IH x2494
