If you're employer provided $5200 of tuition reimbursement

My W2 doesn't have any information regarding the tuition reimbursement. In the Scholarship and Grant section under other types of aid, It says don't include amounts listed on W2, the reimbursement was added as part of my income so should I put zero for Employer-Provided Assistance?

Yes, if the amount of your reimbursement was included in box 1 of your W2, then you would leave that box blank or enter $0. Generally, it is better to leave boxes blank if it is not telling you that you must enter a number.

Are you sure the reimbursement was added as part of your income? That's unusual. By law your employer can only give you $5250 maximum tuition reimbursement, tax free. It's unusual enough that you should ask your employer why it was not tax free.
