@Jayde2 The amount the student must use on your own tax return is equal to the amount of credit required to reduce the taxes you owe. The calculation is available on Schedule 11 from line 1 to 17.
If you have no amount transferred to line 18 to 25 in Schedule 11, you cannot override it. If the student transfers an amount to a designated individual (parents or else), they should only transfer the amount this person can use.
I the student has carried forward amount from previous years, this amount can't be transferred to anyone. It needs to be used by this student.
You can do some verifications to make sure all information are properly entered, starting with the T2202 slip.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax
