Charitable donations - Private school
If you obtained from a private school (qualified donee) a
receipt for religious education provided to your child, you can
claim this amount as a charitable donation only with the federal
government.
To claim charitable donations, please follow this procedure:
1. On the "Left side menu on the Interview tab", select
"Interview setup".

deductions" group, check the box for "Donations and
federal political contributions" and then click
"Next" at the bottom of the page.
3. Return to the "Left side menu on the Interview tab",
select "Donations/political contributions" and on the screen
to your right, click on the plus "+" icon to the right of
the line "Canadian charitable donations (other than per T4 slip
and other slips)".
4. On the page that appears, enter the relevant information
regarding your donations. If you are a Quebec resident, you must
enter $0.00 in the field next to the line

of the federal return and will be reported on line
