Currently I am working part time and going to school fulltime. My tuition bill for this year was $42000. I allocated $10000 of these towards my hope credit.
My employer had promised to refund me $5,250 of tuition expenses under work fringe benefits. However at the end of the year they mailed me a 1099-MISC with $5,250 under non-employee compensation. My questions:
1) Can I deduct my tuition expenses against these $5,250 in 1099 income.
2) In what for would I enter this deduction - will I be forced to treat this as business income
3) Bottomline - would I have to pay any taxes on this $5,250?
I got this form late in March so really pushing against the tax deadline. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
