Can I receive I tax credit for tuition that was reimbursed by my employer?

Filing taxes for my brother. He paid $1100 in Tuition fees that his employer reimbursed under the Tuition Reimbursement program. Wasn%26#039;t sure if he was able to claim that for a tax credit.

Can I receive I tax credit for tuition that was reimbursed by my employer?

I would think not, but you need to know if this tuition reimbursement was included as part of his salary on his W-2. Or was considered income.

If you claim that credit for him, and the company shows that included in his income, then the IRS might notice he double dipped. You don%26#039;t want your brother to go to jail for $1,100.

The IRS website says: Your employer may report the educational assistance payments on your Form W-2 (PDF) in the appropriate box under %26quot;other%26quot;. Taxable reimbursements will be reported by your employer as income to you in the appropriate box of Form W閳?.
