Your son's 2024 tuition will automatically be used if needed. He can transfer the remainder to you (up to a maximum of $5000 federally). If not it will automatically carry forward.   Tuition from previous year's can't be transferred. It will be used automatically (if needed) or carried forward.   The tuition transfer from your child is non-refundable. This means you only can use it if you need it to reduce your taxes owing. If you don’t have taxes owning, you won’t get the credit. If you only have some taxes owing, then you'll only get enough tuition transfer credit to reduce your taxes to zero.

The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB - Line 45300) is for low-income individuals and families who have earned income from employment or business.   It's calculated based on your income and family situation, so you need to enter all your income and info about your spouse/partner and dependants before TurboTax can accurately calculate your eligibility for the benefit.   Even if you select Yes to claim the CWB, TurboTax will not calculate this benefit if you are not eligible for it.  

Hi, so I was waiting for the email activation of the CRA's My Account and it hasn't arrived, and I am blocked to the next steps which is "error code 31, your information doesn't match our records" and it makes sense since I wasn't able to create the accoutn. Could you please let me know if it's better if I wait or should I do it another way?
