EAM Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Dear All; I am a full time graduate student at the University of Calgary. I am trying to transfer my tuition tax credit to my wife for 2021; however, the credit is not kicking in. I am not using any amount of the credit myself. My wife had more income than me. Could you please guide me on what I can do? Best Ehsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Quote You have to first claim your current year’s federal tuition fees and any unused tuition, education, and textbook amounts carried forward from previous years on your Income Tax and Benefit Return, even if someone else paid your fees. The amount you must use on your own tax return is equal to the amount of credit required to reduce the taxes you owe. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-32300-your-tuition-education-textbook-amounts/transferring-carrying-forward-amounts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
