3. Return to the ""Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select the option "Tuition, education, student loans".

4. On the screen to your right, click on the plus sign "+" icon located to the right of the line "Tuition amount * (line 32300)".

5. On the page that appears, in the section "Tuition, Education and textbook amounts (T2202, TL11A, TL11C)", go to the line "Eligible tuition fees paid to foreign educational institutions for 2019 (Enter description in the first field and the amount in the $ field)". If you attended more than one establishment, click on the plus sign "+" on your right and a new field will be added.

6. Enter the number of months of full-time or part-time post-secondary education, if any, based on the information on your TL11A slip. In addition, this information will be included on Schedule 11.

The program will generate federal Schedule 11 to determine the amount of tuition fees.

Remember that according to CRA rules, you must claim the amounts first on your own federal return, to reduce the tax payable.

Please note that you can carry forward the surplus to a future year or transfer it to a parent or grandparent.

To do this, go to the line "Treatment of unused tuition, education and textbook amounts" and in the field to your right, choose the option that suits you.
