AI Thread Summary
Using a grant to pay for classes can impact your tax return, particularly if you also receive tuition reimbursement from your job. It's essential to consult a tax professional for personalized advice, as tax implications can vary based on individual circumstances. General guidance may not adequately address specific situations and could lead to complications when filing taxes. Understanding how grants and reimbursements interact with your tax status is crucial for accurate reporting and maximizing potential returns.

I'm taking 5 classes next semester and they're all paid for by the grant that I applied for. But I'm not sure what that will do to my tax return. I usually get about 500 dollars on my tax return, but if I use that grant, I'm not sure how that will affect my tax return.
My job gives me tuition reimbursement, so I pay for the classes and at the end of the semester they reimburse me most of the money I spent.

Does anyone know what using that grant will do to my tax return?

Thanks.

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
