tuition trasferred to parent

[Vivienmum]

Hi,

My son had a tuition amount of 4053 for tax year 2022, since he did not have much income in 2022, I transferred the tuition to me and claimed the full amount of 4053. However, when I file taxes for 2023, I noticed that his CRA account tuition carry over amount still shows 4053. How should I correct it?

Hello Vivienmum,

You should remove it from the Dependant's file :

Thanks for reply. How do i adjust my son's 2022 tax return?

Hello Vivienmum,

You should adjust the 2022 return to indicate the transfer to Family Head (or Spouse)

Do I use CRA account to make adjustment? Is it in this box where I shall change to zero since I already used my son's tuition? Thanks!

Hello Vivienmum,

You can use the CRA MyAccount - T1 adjustment service - please contact CRA for guidance :

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/change-your-return.html#toc2

Change my return is a tool in My Account that allows you to make adjustment requests for the 10 previous calendar years. For example, a request made in 2024 must relate to tax year 2014 or later to be considered.

This tool makes it easy to change your return online by guiding you through common changes such as adding tax information slips and claiming the disability tax credit.

As well, it includes questions and messages when the CRA:

    needs more information
    detects errors
    needs supporting documents to finalize your request

For information on processing times, see Processing times.
