Hello, I'm not 100% certain on how to file for my tuition reimbursement from my employer (or if necessary at all).
I'm a part time student totaling $2,051.40 of tuition last year (box 1 of form 1098-T). Under the education section of Turbo Tax, I qualify for both the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. But If I go to scholarships and grants, there's a box called Employer-Provided Assistance.. Entering the amount of 2051.40 cancels out the amount of the credits. What I'm unsure about is whether I have to report the amount or not since it's under the $5250 taxable amount for education assistance.
Can anyone enlighten me on what I should do?
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm not 100% certain that it's been taxed already on my income. There are many different small bonuses from last year we received that make it unclear what is included in our wages for our W-2s
