Hi there, you can only claim education expenses for post-secondary students. Click here to learn more: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tips/the-ultimate-tax-guide-for-students-14188#:~:text=Students%20can%20claim%20various%20tax,reduce%20the%20taxes%20they%20owe.

Generally, you can only claim fees for classes taken at a post-secondary education institution for the tuition credit.

 

You can't claim the cost of supplies, or items such as laptops.
