Can we remove a tuition slip and hold it back for the next year?

-it seems our return is higher without claiming tuition, so wondering if we can not claim tuition and then use it when needed to reduce amounts owed in the future

No.

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.
