Tuition fees - Federal
Since January 1, 2017, the federal education and
textbook tax credits are abolished. Unused education and
textbook amounts, carried over from years prior to 2017, will
continue to be available for subsequent years.
Depending on your province or territory of residence, you may
need to enter information that is specific to your province or
territory of residence.
Also, since January 1, 2017, an eligible student is an
individual who is more than 16 years of age before the end of the
year who is enrolled in a university, college or other
post-secondary institution.
To qualify, the fees you paid to attend each educational
institution must be more than $100.
Tuition fees must be recorded in the file of the student.
Please follow the steps below:
1. On the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select
"Interview setup".
2. On the page "Interview setup", go to the
"Student" group, check the box "Tuition, education,
textbook, student loans" as well as any other groups needed to
complete your tax return and click "Next" at the bottom of
the page.
3. Return to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab"
and select the item "Tuition, education, student loans".
4. On the screen to your right click on the plus
sign "+" icon to the right of the line "Tuition
amounts* (line 32300)".
5. On the page that appears, in the section "Tuition,
education, textbook amounts (T2202, TL11A, TL11C)", go to the
line "Eligible tuition fees paid to Canadian 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
postsecondary education, if any, based on the information on your
T2202 slip. In addition, this information will be included on
Schedule 11.
The program will generate federal Schedule 11 to
determine 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.
