Employer Tuition Reimbursement

Hello,

I have a few part question regarding employer tuition reimbursement, W-2 and my tax return:

1. If my employer tuition reimbursement is <=$5,250 I assume it will not show up in box 1 of my W-2?

2.  If my employer tuition reimbursement is >$5,250, will only the difference between the actual and $5,250 show up in box 1 of my W-2?  Will the employer then withhold taxes out of this difference?

3. On my tax return, I assume I need to report the 1098T that I get from the college?  What form is that?

a. Do I report exactly what I paid from the 1098T, or only the difference from what I paid and the $5,250 (if reimbursement was >$5,250)

b. Do I report exactly what I paid from the 1098T, if tuition reimbursement was<=$5,250?  Or do I not report the 1098T at all?

Thanks in advance.
