Get $5,250/yr of tuition or student-loan repayment tax-free from your employer.
IRC §127 lets employers reimburse $5,250/yr per employee for tuition, books, fees, or (through 2025 per CARES Act extensions) student loan principal & interest — 100% excluded from federal income and payroll tax. Employer deducts it. Owner-employees can pay themselves via their own C-corp §127 plan; S-corp 2%+ owners are excluded from the perk directly but can offer it to family employees.
