I am a Starbucks partner using the benefits through ASU to go back to school. Its specified in the FAQ document provided to us that in Pennsylvania where I live the Starbucks Tuition Assistance is taxable in the full amount through the state. What does this mean for my tax return? Should I put in my 1098-T? Another similar post was answered and specified that it was not needed if nothing was paid out of pocket, but I have to pay for books and supplies out of pocket. Am I eligible for a tax credit if I paid for books? I have talked to both Starbucks and ASU support and neither of them could answer my question due to being in an uncommon situation due to the state I live in. Thanks in advance for the help!
