Can I claim any tax credits since I became an apprentice in 2020? I did not do any schooling yet.

Thank you for your question.

 

Did you have any expenses? If so, you can deduct the expenses associated with your apprenticeship.

 

To claim your  expenses as an apprentice mechanic, use the Find button to search and select the option 
employment expenses. 

 

From the employment expense profile screen, select other employment expenses, then click continue. The option for Apprentice mechanic tools expense is near the bottom of the screen. You'll need the cost of the tools as well as other information about your apprenticeship.
