Education

According to the IRS:

"A tuition reduction you receive for graduate education is qualified, and therefore tax free, if both of the following requirements are met.

• It is provided by an eligible educational institution.

• You are a graduate student who performs teaching or research activities for the educational institution."

If the remission is considered taxable, it should be included in Box 1 of your W-2.
