Students earning a typical stipend of roughly $35,000 could see their federal income taxes increase almost four-fold—from around $3,300 to $12,000 per year under the proposed plan.

How would that work? Tuition is $50k?

I can't interpret what your question is. Here have this: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-05925-6

I was asking for an example showing how a grad students federal income taxes would increase from $3k to $12k. Using the various “trump plan” calculators online it appears the students tuition would need to be around $50k/year along with that $35k stipend to generate that level of tax obligation. I’m not saying it’s not true, just saying it’s surprising.

Kelly Balmes is finishing up a master's degree — on her way to a Ph.D. — in atmosphere and sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Balmes, 24, is from Chicago, so her out-of-state tuition is $30,000 a year. It's paid for through grants; money she never sees.

The university pays her a yearly stipend of about $30,000 in exchange for her work in research and as a teaching assistant. That's considered minimum wage in Seattle — about $15 an hour.

In 2016, she paid income taxes on her teaching stipend and ended up owing the government $2,334.

If the tax bill passes, the grant that covers tuition will be viewed as additional income. If the numbers remain the same, Balmes' total income before deductions becomes $61,398 — nearly double what she filed last year.

She would owe $7,488, about $5,000 more.
