Can I get the Lifetime Learners tax credit even though tuition reimbursement put me over the 90000 limit? I paid taxes on reimbursed funds that went directly to tuition

I made over the limit solely because of the company reimbursed tuition and otherwise would have qualified. I paid over 3 thousand in taxes on reimbursed tuition that went directly to tuition. So basically I was double taxed on the funds that went to school.

If your MAGI which starts with your AGI is greater than $90,000 you can’t get education credit.

A. No. Your income for that purpose includes everything in box 1 of your W-2.
