I am attending college and receive a tuition waiver. I did not get any tax documents for the waiver. Do I list the tuition and fees that were waived under scholarships?

It depends.

 

Qualified tuition reduction amounts are not taxable if they are used for education at a qualified educational institution.

 

If the payments are for services, then you would include the portion in income if it was for teaching, research, or other services. 

 

Please see the attached for more details to help you determine if anything needs to be reported based upon your circumstances.
