I often have clients come in with copies of cheques for tuition fees paid and lots of book receipts. In order to claim tuition over $100 and a credit for amounts paid for books on your tax return from Universities, colleges or a certified institution you must obtain a T2202A form from your school.
What amounts can be Claimed for School?
You are entitled to claim eligible tuition fees paid for part time and full time session. As well if you are a full time student you are entitled to an education amount of $400 for each month of full time studies and $65 for textbooks per month. Part time students are entitled to an education amount of $120 for each month of part time studies and $20 for textbooks per month.
You can elect to transfer up to $5,000 (Federally) as well as up to $6,503 (Provincially) of tuition to your parent, grandparent or spouse, and any amounts that are unclaimed can be carried forward.
T2202A Education and Textbook Amount Certificates are no longer being mailed by many Canadian Universities and colleges and now require you to login to the school’s secure web portal and print them out yourself.
