Taxes on tuition assistance The exclusion for employer-provided educational assistance under section 127 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) expired on June 30, 1992. Section 127 enabled employers to provide up to $5,250 per year in tax-free tuition assistance to employees for course work at the undergraduate or graduate level. H.R. 11, The Enterprise Zone Incentive Act of 1991 that was passed by Congress on Oct. 8, included many provisions beneficial to colleges and universities, including a 12-month, retroactive extension of section 127. However, President Bush vetoed the bill on Nov. 5. Since the tax bill (H.R. 11) was vetoed after Congress adjourned for the year, section 127 cannot be reinstated until the 103rd Congress convenes next year and introduces new tax legislation. There also is no way to determine at this time if future enactment of section 127 will include a retroactive provision relating back to July 1, 1992. As a resul t of the expiration of section 127, all employers, including colleges and universities, that previously provided tuition assistance under section 127 must, according to the IRS code, withhold federal and state income taxes, as well as FICA and Medicare taxes, as of July 1, 1992. The above statement was prepared by NACUBO. . For Coastal employees, federal and state taxes for tuition assistance received since July 1, 1992, will be deducted from the Dec. 31 payroll checks. These checks will be disbursed on Dec. 22. ,.."., Applications available for USC System Scholarship program The-University of South Carolina Educational Foundation, through the Family Fund, annually makes funds avrulable for awarding scholarships to undergraduate and graduate dependents of University System employees.
