maxmontreal Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello, I am a graduate student and receive a stipend to support my studies and living expenses. This income is not taxable (https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/personal-income/line-13000-other-income/line-13010-scholarships-fellowships-bursaries-artists-project-grants-awards.html), and in the past 4 years of filing I have not had any issue with it being labeled as taxable. This year, however, my stipend amount was automatically labeled as "Taxable scholarship income and research grants" in line 13010 for my federal return. My provincial return did not have this issue. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to override or modify this within NETFILE? Is there a place I can specify that I am a fulltime student, so this category of income is not marked as taxable?

Nawal Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hi @maxmontreal, if you are enrolled in full-time postsecondary studies, no amount will be entered on line 13010 of the federal return. For part-time students, an amount could be reported on line 13010 of the federal return. It will be the amount of the scholarship minus the $500 basic exemption + tuition fees.

windsurfer51 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 If you have a T2202 tuition fees paid statement the amount is not taxable, if you don't have a T2202 entered into the tax return the amount - $500.00 will be taxable. Also there are rules on the part time situation which you may want to google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txguy Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Have T2202, But tax is still charged. But how to input it correctly. Is this a mistake of UFile? Terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew123 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Great question @maxmontreal, I found that I needed to do the following: Interview --> Select student checkbox --> Go to the left-hand column --> Scholarships --> T2202 --> Number of months of full time studies. Then it put the correct amount. Basically, you have to tell it that you were a full-time student through a long process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
