All versions of TurboTax have the forms commonly needed by students. However, most people choose TurboTax Standard, as it is inexpensive and provides plenty of guidance and help while you are doing your return. But if you start with a different version, you can always upgrade if you need to. You can buy TurboTax Online here: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/personal-tax-software/online-tax-software.jsp

Here is a FAQ listing what tuition, education, and other expenses can a student claim: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/replies/2648040

Thank you so much for helping with my query. As a part of education I have practicum and I might be posted away from city where I will have to spend on accommodation, food and travel, is it possible to report that while filing my tax return? Please let me know. Thanks

There is a section to report moving expenses, but you can only claim those expenses if you are moving from one home to another (for school or work purposes). It doesn’t cover expenses for temporary relocations.

I am a freelancer and my bank charges 15$ every month for wire transfer I receive, can I put that as an expense for my work? Please help me with it, Thanks.
