I am an apprentice tradesman with school deductions and set my profile to student; How do I enter in information for tools with the t2200, it isn't available?

You would enter your tool expenses in the Employment Expenses section, which you can find using the search bar on the 2025 Tax Home page.

To enter tool expenses with a T2200 in TurboTax Canada while set as a student, you must navigate to the Employment Expenses section, not the Student/Tuition section. Even with a student profile, you can add the "Employment Expenses" topic to the report tool purchases, for which you need a signed T2200 form from your employer.

 

  • In the "Income & Expenses" or "Find" section, search for and select Employment Expenses.
  • In the Employment Expense Profile, check the box that says, "I received a form T2200." Ensure you select the option for "Tradesperson's Tools Expense."
  • Under the "Other Employment Expenses" section, enter the cost of eligible tools, your total employment income as a tradesperson, and any applicable CCA (capital cost allowance) if needed.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
