If your employer paid taxes on your behalf that is considered money you earned. It is no different than when you earn $20,000 by working. You never see a portion of your wages because it goes directly for taxes. Target paid you $8,877 but immediately took taxes out and paid them. If they wouldn't have done that then the $6k they paid for tuition would still be taxable so you would have had to come up with the money on your own.
