Box 105 – Scholarships, bursaries, fellowships, artists’ project grants, and prizes
You may have heard a rumor that your scholarship/bursary is tax-free. Not quite—but close!
If you were a full-time student, your scholarship/bursary income is exempt from tax in most cases in all provinces except Québec. However, you do need to enter the T4A information on your tax return. So when you enter your T4A income, choose the option for Box 105 that applies to full-time students to make sure you’re not paying tax on this tax-exempt income.
If you were a part-time student, some or all of your T4A scholarship/bursary income may be exempt. At least $500 will be exempt in most cases. The amount depends on how much your courses cost and how much scholarship/bursary income you received.
Thank you for using TurboTax.
