I used financial aid upfront for tuition, so all tuition was paid to the school directly from the Financial Aid Loan disbursements by the government. Once classes are completed, assuming you pass, they can be requested for reimbursement on my paychecks. On my final paystub of the year, it shows 5250 for NonTax reimbursement and another $4033 that I was taxed on. Neither of these amounts shows on my W2, but I did get a 1098T from the school showing $5602.17 received for payments. After $5250, the amount is taxed, so I need to pay the shortfall for each class. Box 1 of the 1098T is $5602.17 and box 5 is blank. As above stated, the $5250 and the $4033 received from the employer does not show anywhere on forms.
