Canada working benefit

I’m a full time student and I claimed the Canada working benefit not knowing about claiming university credits for 2018 because I didn’t know students weren’t eligible and it said there were no drawbacks... I’ve now realized that I was supposed to claim university credits and receive a smaller refund. What should I do? Thanks in advance if anyone can help 🙏🏻

You will most likely have to Refile your 2018 tax return, but before you do that I would suggest that you contact the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 or go into your MyCRA account to check and see if they caught it. 

 

Please review this link from the CRA for Canada Working Benefit for more information.
