employer paid education- use for credits?

Feb 11, 2009 2 Replies

Employer paid college. Taxpayer received 1098-T. Can the taxpayer use for education credits, etc? Just another third-party tuition payment? Thanks


It depends on whether the employer payments were taxable income to the student or not. No double dipping allowed. See IRS Publication 970.

Tax-free scholarship? (no double dipping...)
