Partial Tuition Reimbursement From Employer

I received a 1098-T for $2,851.65 in tuition which I paid for in full. My employer subsequently reimbursed me for some of the tuition. The amount paid by the employer was not taxable. How do I reflect the amounts reimbursed and not reimbursed?

Enter the 1098-T and continue through the interview.

The program will ask if you received any other assistance and report what the employer paid.

Q. How do I reflect the amounts reimbursed and not reimbursed?

A. After entering your 1098-T, in TurboTax (TT), you will be asked if you had any tax free employer reimbursement. Enter the amount your were reimbursed. TT will use the difference to calculate a tuition credit.

Your employer may reimburse you, tax free, for tuition, up to $5250. So the reimbursement is only entered to reduce the amount of tuition eligible for the education credit.
