Tax question

Hi tax gurus…

I have a quesiton, this year I am filing my taxes myself… I wanted to know whether tuition assistance grant provided by an employer is taxable or not, and any details you have on that? I recieved USD 15K from my employer in 2006 for grad school tuition, and its listed seperately in my W2. Also, this is a dumb question, but I dont need to mention that anywhere in the State Taxes right, just federal?
