I work as a staff in my school so I have tuition remission benefit. However,
I still need to pay the tax of the tuition and other fees (like application
, books, etc). The tax of tuition is still a lot of money because the
tuition will be shown in my w2 form.
In this case, can I take education credit, or tuition deduction?
A major concern is that the tuition is not paid by myself. I am not sure if
I qualify for the deduction or credit or not.

To determine if you quilify for the tuition benefit, please refer to the IRS
publication 970.

"If you receive educational assistance benefits from your employer under an
educational assistance program, you can exclude up to $5,250 of those
