You're welcome. I hope that info saves someone else in the community some frustration!

I'm just posting my resolution with the UFile support team here in case anyone else runs into the same issue. What I discovered since I posted this topic was that when I deleted the "T2202 - Tuition" form, my daughter's total refund was increased (as expected) by over $2,000 from $1714.32 to $3,779.21. When I added a new form and entered the same information as before [i.e., Amount for post-secondary studies ($3,537), Eligible tuition fees ($177), Number of months of full-time post-secondary studies (5), and Charitable donations ($10)], I clicked the "Review: Review your results, view messages and more" tab EACH TIME I entered the amounts for that form to see which bit of information caused the total refund to drop by over $2,000. It was only when I entered the "Number of months of full-time post-secondary studies" of "5", it was always then that the total refund dropped. Based on this information, the support team member explained after performing their review of my file that:

@Geo123 thank you for your reply. I will do that. Cheers!

Under the "Tuition, education, student loans" section, I added my daughter's last semester of study tuition fees (T2202 - Tuition). Before I added her tuition information in this section, her calculated refund was $3,779.21 (Federal: $2,381.61 and Quebec: $1,397.60). After I added the tuition details, i.e., Amount for post-secondary studies ($3,537), Eligible tuition fees ($177), Number of months of full-time post-secondary studies (5), and Charitable donations ($10), her calculated refund plummeted by over $2,000 to $1714.32 (Federal: $749.08 and Quebec: $965.24). This came as a complete surprise to me. Does anyone know why this happened? Is it worth claiming the tuition for her last semester of studies if the refund amount is taking such a hit? Am I obligated to claim it? Thanks in advance. Greg
