How much of it is tax-free
Under a written educational assistance program, an employer can exclude up to $5,250 a year from your wages; anything above that is wages unless it qualifies as a working condition benefit (IRS Pub. 15-B, Educational Assistance). Verizon's published cap of $5,250 is within that line.
