What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Hi all,
My company provided tuition reimbursement in 2012, and about 25k out of 30k was included in my 2012 W2 as income. According to IRS publication 970, $5250 can be excluded, so that adds up.
What I am unsure about is that the company is claiming that my 30k repayment (repaid in 2013) cannot be adjusted for last year or this year. This sounds very fishy to me... like they want a double tax benefit (education write-off last year and higher compensation cost this year) by sitting on their asses and leaving me with the short end of the stick. I've read through IRS publication 970 and nowhere does it mention repayment of an employer provided tuition reimbursement plan. Thoughts? I appreciate any ideas you guys may have.
