My employer pays 100% of my college tuition. I received a form 1098T through my school. After entering my form 1098T, I was told that I was eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit. This increased my refund by almost $2,000. I am a bit confused as to whether or not I am actually entitled to this tax credit since I am fully reimbursed by my employer for tuition. I don't want to claim the credit and later get audited or in trouble with the IRS. Any advice? Should I just leave the form off of my taxes?
