1098-T How do i know if it shows on my w-2?

The first $5250 of education assistance is tax free. The employer is not required to put that information on your W-2 but may include it in either box 12 or box 14.

Anything over $5250 is taxable income and is included in your box 1 amount. There may or may not be an entry in box 12 or box 14.

Contact you employer if you have any questions about how the W-2 was figured.
