In short - In 2019 I received 6,600 in educational assistance from my employer. $5250 of which was tax free and the rest taxed. I had to stay with the company for 2 years, but another great opportunity popped up and I decided to leave 6-months short of the 2 years.
This year I will be paying back the $6,600 to my employer. Is there anything I can do for next years taxes to take advantage of me paying back my employer? Technically - since I am paying back, I paid for my own tuition expenses.
I did receive 1098T last year for 2019 taxes where box had the amount of $6,600 - but due to employer paid - doesn't look like I took advantage of the education credits. (This was for a Masters Degree - only 2 class).
