Is anybody aware of a way to get your taxes back when using it for education? My work pays fully for employees to go back to school, but you are required to pay the taxes on anything over 5500 per year, and it counts as income on my paycheck. The issue with this is its taxed at 25% like a bonus, plus the "earned income" would bring me into the 25% bracket. This makes it still pretty expensive to attend a good program. I've heard from a coworker that their accountant mentioned if you said it was directly related to your job that it can be written off and you get your money back. Is anybody aware of this or another way to get out of paying all these taxes?
