HUCTW negotiated the TAP Tax Reimbursement Fund with Harvard in order to help our members recoup a significant portion of the tax cost from non job-related, graduate-level classes taken using the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Members who take two or more such classes during the 2023 calendar year may have between $1,000 – $12,000 in taxes withheld from their paychecks due to the University’s TAP Tax Policy.
Eligibility for the current application cycle: If you took one or more non-job-related graduate courses at Harvard during the spring 2023 and/or summer 2023 this program will provide partial reimbursement for any taxes that Harvard withheld from your paychecks related to those classes. Awards will be based on each applicant’s tax costs and the total number of applications we receive.
- Application: Scroll down—the application is on the lower half of this page.
- Deadline: September 6, 2023
- Award Delivery: All members with eligible expenses who apply by the deadline will receive awards. We aim to deposit awards in paychecks by the end of September.
