<prompt> Human: Im currently pursuing a masters degree part time. My employer reimburses me the cost of tuition and books after Ive completed the course with at least a B- letter grade. Im currently filling out my taxes and TurboTax is attempting to give me the lifetime learning credit. However, states: You cannot use any of the tax-free education expenses paid for by your employer as the basis for any other deduction or credit, including the American opportunity credit and lifetime learning credit.I think TurboTax wants to give me a credit since I paid tuition in 2013 for Spring 2014 and have not yet been reimbursed. Therefore it appears as though I paid tuition out of my own pocket. However, my tuition for Spring 2014 will not be reimbursed until May or June of 2014.So two questions:1 Am I wrong for taking the Lifetime Learning Credit even though I may end up getting reimbursed? I feel like I shouldnt take it.2 If I dont take the life time learning credit and then end up with a C in my class and therefore dont receive the employer reimbursement. Did I leave money on the table?  <response>: Im in the same boat and looking for answers. In addition to your questions, Im curious what happens if I leave my employer and have to repay the tuition reimbursement. Can I then take the credit?
