Thanks for the info. I'm not specifically familiar with that Pub, but it confirms my understanding of the rules.
But it doesn't change the answers above. Your employer has to make that determination. If he includes the income on your W-2, he has determined that it does not qualify (or he has made a mistake). Only your employer can correct that with corrected W-2. There is no way to file your tax return to "undo" it.
Q. If I was to be able to prove this to my employer, would they be "required" to file my W-2 appropriately and not include the tuition reimbursement as taxable income?
A. That question is probably a legal question beyond the scope of this online forum
