Line 5856 - Your tuition, education,
and textbook amounts
Complete Schedule YT(S11), Territorial Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts.
Transferring amounts
If you do not need to use all of your 2018 tuition amount to reduce your territorial income tax to zero, you can transfer all or some of the unused part to your spouse or common-law partner (who would claim it on line 5864) or your parent or grandparent, or your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent (who would claim it on line 5860).
Note
You can only transfer an amount to your parent or grandparent (or
your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent) if
your spouse or common-law partner does not claim an amount for you
on line 5812 or 5864.
The student must complete the "Transfer or carryforward of unused amount" section of Schedule YT(S11) to transfer an amount. The student must also complete any of the following applicable forms to designate who can claim the transferred amount and to specify the territorial amount this person can claim:
-
T2202A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate
-
TL11A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate - University Outside Canada
-
TL11B, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate - Flying School or Club
-
TL11C, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate - Commuter to the United States
The transferred amount may be different than the amount calculated for the same person on your federal Schedule 11. Enter the territorial amount you are transferring on line 17 of your Schedule YT(S11).
Carrying forward amounts
Complete the "Transfer or carryforward of unused amount" section of Schedule YT(S11) to calculate the amount you can carry forward to a future year. This amount is the part of your tuition, education, and textbook amounts that you do not need to use for the year and are not transferring to your spouse or common-law partner, your parent or grandparent, or your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent.
