Education

Generally, no, you won't be able to claim a credit for qualified education expenses paid with tax-free educational assistance, such as a scholarship, grant, or assistance provided by an employer. 

• The general rule states that "no double benefit is allowed".
• You may still be able to claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit for any tuition or fees paid out of pocket that your employer did not reimburse.
• For additional information see IRS Publication 970 Tax Benefits for Education.
