The Saskatchewan Graduate Retention Program (GRP) is one of the most important credits for Saskatchewan residents, and a $2,000 increase in your refund typically corresponds to the maximum annual claim for a four-year degree (10% of $20,000).

If you don't see the increase, it's usually due to a missing Eligibility Certificate or a specific "trigger" in TurboTax.

1. The Missing Document: Your GRP Certificate

You cannot claim this credit using only your T2202 tuition slip. You must have an official Graduate Retention Program Eligibility Certificate issued by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education.

Most SK schools apply for you, but you must download the certificate from the Saskatchewan Advanced Education Student Portal.

Even with the certificate, the software frequently "hides" the credit if not completed correctly.

If this is your first time claiming it, please enter the information from your certificate (graduation year and degree type).

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
