Are the tuition and other fees paid for by the Department of the Interior counted as income for income tax purposes?
It depends. If the agency pays tuition for training related to the employee’s current occupation, the tuition is not considered income. If an employee is in the unusual situation in which Government training qualifies him or her for another occupation, the cost of that training may be considered income for tax purposes. Agencies report to the IRS as employee income any fees paid to an employee for per diem, travel, or transportation in connection with full-time training of more than 12 months duration.
