Washington State Labor and Industries-Job retraining

Good afternoon,

 

I went to college in 2019, I was enrolled in May 2019 for the fall semester which started at the beginning of Aug 2019. I will be in college full-time this year 2020 and I am wondering how or if I should add any information to my taxes about it.

 

I have an amount that Labor and Industries will cover up to (18,660.46) over a two year period that covers any costs associated with retraining/college. Labor and Industries will either cover the cost of something or I am reimbursed for the expense. I have a few questions which are the following:

  • Do I need to put this information somewhere on my taxes?
  • How is that money is classified on my taxes if at all?
  • Is it classified as financial aid?
  • Do I qualify for any type of deductions being a student?
  • Should I request a 1098-T form from my college? 

 

If you need any other information to answer the following questions, let me know.

 

Thanks,

Jonathan
