Education

YES,

In fact there would be no reason to ask for a corrected W2 if your employer taxed you on the amount over 5,250. 5,250 is the limit to what they can pay tax-free towards your education expenses in a tax year. Any amount over that is taxable income for the employee.

 

If you had additional expenses (over the 5,250,) certainly claim those expenses for a credit if you meet the other requirements. 

 

Please be sure to only report the expenses not paid by the 5,250 tax-free employer assistance.
