I am confused on how to answer the question if "box 5 from the 1098-T includes employer provider assistance." My initial response is No, because the amount shown is $1406 from the school that provided the scholarship; however, my employer also assisted me by reimbursing me $1039 directly to me, so it was never sent to the school, so I would think the school would not know of this and would be entering this additional amount in box 5 --that amount is only what they covered.
BUT if I select NO it states "No I didn't receive any of this help to pay for school," that is incorrect cause I did get help from my employer. Unless it is to negate that this amount in box 5 did not come from the school.
And don't want to get in trouble because the pay stub that had the reimbursement states "Tuition Reimbursement Non Txbl" but I do not see any reports on my W2 this information.
I think I am reading way into this, I just don't want a surprise fine in a year from now.
Help!
