Tuition Credits Increasing Taxes Owing

When adding tuition credits it is making the taxes owing higher. This is wrong. Is there a software issue?

In an effort to get you as many credits as possible, TurboTax automatically claims any credits that it thinks you are eligible for. If you worked, but have a low income, TurboTax will claim the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), which is a refundable tax credit for people who work, but don’t make very much. However, students are usually not eligible for this credit, so when you tell TurboTax that you have tuition, then the CWB is removed if you no longer qualify for it.
