Did you hear the one about Section 127 education assistance programs?

Section 127 educational assistance programs allow employers to provide up to $5,250 per employee annually in tax-free education benefits. These programs can pay or reimburse for tuition, books, supplies and — based on recent changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — qualified student loan payments. The law also indexes the $5,250 limit for inflation beginning after 2026. Benefits are deductible for employers and exempt from payroll taxes, provided applicable requirements are met.
