Yes, all information are properly entered as per T2202 slip accordingly. Then turbo tax auto filled lines 1-17 on Schedule 11 for my child based on this. My child did specify transfer of unused amount to a parent in the next section before lines 18-25 as there is no need for my child to claim the tuition amount since a refund is pending ie. no tax owing.
Lines 10 and 17 are the same amounts, which are auto filled into lines 18 and 19 respectively. Thus line 20 (total unused amount) is always 0. Same with lines 8 and 16, which are auto filled into lines 21 and 22 respectively. Thus line 23 (Unused tuition amount available to transfer) is always 0. Because of these, an amount to transfer cannot be specified.
Since the fields in Schedule 11 are auto filled, where override of these is not allowed, how can any amount be specified for transfer if line 20 and 23 are always 0? It appears turbo tax is automatically applying all the tuition amounts to my child's tax return even though he does not have any tax owing, and NOT allowing any tuition amounts to be transferred. Please advise how any tuition amount my child do NOT need can be specified and transferred in this case?
Would my child having T4 income restrict this in any way? As advised, if I delete the T4 form, then the transfer of the tuition amounts works accordingly as per the steps advised. Much appreciate your guidance. Thanks!

The CRA website does indicate full or partial tuition amounts can be transferred or carried forward even with income, but the turbotax program does not seem to allow this since it automatically uses up all the tuition amounts for my child. Not sure how to get around this without compromising ability to Netfile. Much appreciate some advice or guidance on this. Thanks!
