How do I claim my son's 2018 tuition and course?

How do I claim my son's 2018 tuition and course?

You can’t put it on your 2020 return. Your son would have to claim the tuition on his own 2018 tax returns first. Then he can transfer any unused tuition credit to you, but you would have to use it on your 2018 tax return.

 

You can make changes after you have filed your tax return through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or through ReFILE. This FAQ has more information: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/tax-return-amendment/help/i-have-filed-my-tax-return-...
