My wife is employed by a university as an adjunct professor. As part of her employment, she is encouraged to take courses through the university to be better prepared to teach those courses in the future. These courses are covered costs as a benefit of her employment.
She received a 1098-T from the university that includes an amount in box 1. When I include her as a student and provide the information, the tax burden goes up significantly. Obviously, she is not eligible for many of the credits, since she has already claimed some of them, and she isn't currently pursuing a degree. It seems strange that we would owe significantly more in taxes based on the classes that she is taking. Am I missing something?
