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.
