If my employer pays for me to get a PhD I am required to pay taxes on the value of that assitance. Why should you get a free pass just because your employer is also the university you are getting your PhD at?
- tabeth 9y agoI completely agree. I'm really not understanding the counter argument here.
- mattkrause 9y agoActually those benefits are often exempt or deductible (at least partially): - From the feds: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p970 https://www.irs.gov/publications/p970 Furthermore, employers tend to pay for actual classes (with a professor and meetings and all that). A lot of the outrage around this is that the research portion of a PhD doesn't actually involve any of that.
