Hello,
I attended a conference in 2021, I entered this poster contest and won $1000 for presenting my research well and I also volunteered and received a $250 honorarium. I received a cheque from the university and later on got a T4. I made sure to report it last year. This year I had my CRA account setup so everything can be uploaded automatically through netfile, and I noticed that the $1250 is filed as other income for my 2022 tax return. I guess I didn't do a good job/or did something wrong last year.
Anyway, my question is should the money I received from the poster contest be considered something else(not other income)? Other than the honorarium, the $1000 is tied to me presenting my research as a full time PhD student. I don't have any issues with filing the $1250 as other income but I'm a little confused about this.
