Hi,

I received $5,500 tuition reimbursement from my company. Is this $5,500 my misc income? And can I deduct this tuition from my income?

Thanks,

Is it included in your wages (Form W-2, box 1)?

You cannot deduct the tuition from your taxes because your company already paid the tuition (you didn't have to pay for it).
