Title
Do I have to pay taxes on the VA education benefit payments I receive?
Answer
No. Payments from all GI Bill programs are tax-free. This is true for you, your dependents, and your survivors.
Tax-free education benefits include:
- Tuition
- Training fees
- Test fees for licenses and certifications
- Money to pay for a tutor
- Work study
- Books
- Housing
Please don’t include education benefit payments as income when you file your taxes.
