I received T4A's from both the 'Canada Student Loans Program' and the 'MIN OF TRAIN, COLL & UNIV'. The federal grant was about $2900 and provincial $3300. How do I deduct

So I have two T4A's, one for a federal tuition grant and one from the province (OSAP). First one amounts to about $2900 and second one $3300. My T2202A shows 8 months of Part-Time B studies so I have to deduct the tuition against these T4A's. First semester tuition was about $2600 and second semester about $2750. How do I claim the 'Related expenses, if any' field in this case? Do I just claim $2600 against the federal grant of $2900 and $2750 against the provincial grant of $3300 (or vice-versa)? Do I claim the total ($5350) in both fields? Also, is the tuition amount from the T2202A the only thing I can claim or can I also claim anything else such as student union fees, text books, calculators, etc.?


I want to maximize my deductions. Thank you so much!

There have been some changes to the Tuition Credit on a Provincial level for Ontario and Saskatchewan for 2018 and New Brunswick as of 2017. Tuition is no longer a provincial credit for students in those three (3) provinces. 

Therefore, any Provincial amounts to enter the tuition transfer will not be available, as seen in previous years.

Otherwise, review the following information.

  • OK so here is what you are to start with, go back to your Tslip entries if any, and remove whatever you have done.  If nothing right now, good! 
  • Now read the following links on how to enter all your tuition information into TurboTax. (On that same page are links at the bottom of the page to guide you further into how to enter your tuition amounts).

OSAP grant

 

I received an OSAP grant for two semesters, the first semester I was a full-time student but the second one I was a part-time student, 

 

so I received two T4As, one for the provincial grant and one for the federal grant 

but they all total grant in box 105  did not break down which portion is for the part-time and which is for the full time.

 

I entered manually the two forms T2202 on the system as one part-time and one full time and AFR the T4As from CRA.

 

But the System giving me a message to specify the T4As if it for part-time of full time 

 

So what should I do should  I put all as full time or part-time study or other...

 

Please advise me what should I do
