Yes, you can claim any tuition that you paid yourself that wasn't reimbursed by your employer.

If I had $7,200 in tuition last year and my employer re-imbursed me for $5,250 when you enter your T2022 can I enter the difference?

I have currently left the tuition dollar amount blank but the number of months are enterd.

When you enter your dependant into your tax return, you'll be asked about their Net Income. TurboTax will use that info to determine how much of the disability tax credit can be transferred.

If you are using TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), the software will automatically claim the disability amount (DTC) transferred from your dependant on the spouse with the highest income (after deductions). Unfortunately, there is no way to change it.

For the tuition, on the Tuition Transfer Amount page, you can click on the tuition transfer and change the spouse who is getting the amount.

Please note that both the DTC & the tuition credits are non-refundable, so they can only be used to reduce or eliminate taxes owing. They can't be used to generate or increase a refund.

If you are using TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), then on the first page of the RRSP section, you can check off "Transfers to RRSPs". Then, once you get to that page, you can enter the amount that was transferred.

Is there somewhere within the RRSP worksheet to indicate it was a transfer under 60 (1) rather than a normal RRSP contribution?

Re: How do I know if I receive the Groceries and Essentials Benefit?

TurboTax_Susan — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 16:54:05 GMT

For the GST/HST credit (now the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit), you just have to file your tax return. The CRA will use it to determine if you are eligible for the credit and will let you know.

How do I know if I receive the Groceries and Essentials Benefit?

I want to transfer unused Disability Tax Credits to parent, but how can I find or calculate the value that is unused? The unused value does not appear on the NOA.

How can I put the tuition tax credit to the lower income spouse using this soft ware? It automatically puts it on the higher income spouse. Same for the disability tax

To file your Canadian tax return with a non-resident spouse who has no SIN, you must select "Married" status, enter 000-000-000 for their SIN, and report their net world income in Canadian dollars. Because they lack a SIN, you likely cannot NETFILE and must print and mail your return. Enter your spouse's net world income in Canadian dollars. If they had no income, enter 0.

Spouse or common-law partner amount

If you have further questions, we suggest contacting CRA directly at 1-800-959-8281.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

You can report the RRSP contribution this year and carry the deduction forward to the next year when you can use it to offset the LIF income.

TurboTax_Susan — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 22:45:43 GMT

If you claimed tuition in a previous year, but didn't use all of it to reduce your taxes payable, then it would carry forward to this year. You can check your CRA My Account to verify how much tuition you have left over from previous years.

Hello! I was wondering what this line on my student summary means. "unused tuition amounts from previous years."

tiannachapman — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 22:37:27 GMT

Part of a LIF was converted to my RRSP in Feb 2026. I have a receipt for the RRSP contribution but not one for the LIF deduction. Do i report the contribution next year
