@ebwhite8617 not that it matters, but here's my personal take on it.
If my employer want's to "give" me $5,150 dollars to pay for qualified education expenses and I don't need that money to pay for those expenses with, thus making it taxable, then my only question is, "who to I make the tax payment check too?" I didn't have to "earn" that money per-se. It's free money. So I don't have a problem with paying taxes on it. (My issues with how my tax money is spent is a totally separate issue. But when it comes to paying "my fair share", I have no issues with that.)
