Education

Each year, the first $5,250 of tuition paid by your employer is tax free, i.e. you did not pay tax on that amount. Therefore you cannot claim a tax deduction or credit when you repay them.

 

However, if you have to repay in 2020 the tuition paid by your employer in 2018 and 2019, you can amend your 2018 and 2019 tax returns to claim these education expenses as they have now become "out-of-pocket".
