I have a 17 year old who was enrolled in post-secondary school for the second half of 2018 (5 months as per slip) in Quebec. Will these amounts be carried forward to future years when he becomes 18 ? On the forms does not allow me to change anything therefore assuming that this will be carried forward, just can't find where.
Sorry I meant to say on his return. He was not 18 in 2018, that was the bigger question, apologies if not clear. I was unclear of where to note that this was transferable to 2019 return.
It doesn’t matter what age. He still needs to file a return in order to report the T2202A and either carry forward the credit , or transfer some or all of it to you. You cannot report a students Tuition directly to your own return.
Yes, I have reported on his tax return, thank you. What I was not sure of was the fact that he is under 18, therefore did not seem to find a form with that option as Schedule S is Over-18 and he was 17 last year. So in summary, is there a form for under 17 and what schedule for Federal and which one is for Quebec to transfer to a parent. Thank you in advance.
No, all Federal tax forms are the same, nothing special for any group, age-related or otherwise. The standard Federal T1 with Schedule 11 applies Federally, not sure about Quebec. You,ll have to research that.
