Does Job corps count as a school when filing taxes, and also, does the money paid out to me for completing the program need to be accounted for?

Job Corps education does not count as post-secondary education towards a degree on your tax return.

Your Job Corps income could be taxable; but if you earned less than $10,350, you are not required to file a tax return.

HI Did you go to job corps and if so did you file the w-2 statement or no? Do we have to?
