Subject: [Busmgrs] Tuition Reimbursements

Hi All,

Our ESD paid out a large amount of tuition to an employee.  At the time, we just paid it like a regular reimbursement, but now it has come to my attention that it may be considered taxable income.

Can any of you share with me how you treat your tuition reimbursements, or how you administer tuition reimbursement programs, especially in terms of if it is treated as income or not?

Thank you!
