The amount you must use on your tax return is equal to the amount of credit required to reduce the taxes you owe. The calculation for this amount is included in Schedule 11.
Sometimes you don’t need to claim your federal or provincial education tax credits. Maybe you didn’t make enough money to owe taxes, or perhaps other credits or deductions have already reduced your taxes to zero. When this happens, you can save the unused tuition tax credits to use in the future and the CRA will automatically apply them to taxes payable in the future till there is no amount left.
