My 1098-T from 2018 had my summer 2018, fall 2018, and spring 2019 semesters listed. I received tuition reimbursement for all these semesters, fall 2018 and spring 2019 reimbursements weren't until 2019. My spring 2019 tuition was also paid for in 2019. How do I go about putting this on my tax forms? My preparer from last year said they cancel each other out and don't need to be listed. ~~I should add my tuition reimbursement shows up in my wages.~~ So actually double checked and it does not- If my tuition reimbursement is not reported in my wages on my w-2 do I need to file it under the education portion where it asks about employer assistance?

Correct, all of your 2019 qualified expenses must be greater than scholarship otherwise, the difference goes in with your wages.

If your 2018 1098-T has tuition greater than scholarships, you will want to amend your 2018 return and claim the education credit.
