Q. What amount I should claim in my "Employer Provided Assistance" in the educational tax credits?

A.  $5250.

 

 

Any portion of the employer assistance, that you pay tax on (the amount above $5250), is considered your money and can be used to claim the tuition credit.  For tax purposes, that amount is no longer "assistance", it's salary.
