Tuition reimbursement

[renoriv23]

Do I have to claim tuition reimbursement from my employer?

[Terri Lynn]

Good afternoon, renoriv23!

It would depend on the amount your employer reimbursed you.  Your employer can give you, or reimburse you, up to $5,250 in educational assistance.  Keep in mind that, while tax free, this amount would still need to be reported and subtracted from any other educational expenses that would be eligible to be applied towards any education credits.

For additional information on educational tax benefits and credits, please reference: 

• IRS Pub 970: Tax Benefits for Education 
• Education Credits 

Thank you for joining us today and have a great rest of your day!
