Before you begin, you will need to find out the federal and/or provincial amount(s) dependant is transferring to you. Then, enter your income and RRSP information for yourself into TurboTax. Finally, make sure to add your child or grandchild as a dependant.

  1. Select the icon of the magnifying glass (or Find) on TurboTax and type Claims For.
  2. Select Claims for Dependants, then select Go.
  3. When prompted to review or claim any of these credits, select Yes. Then select Continue
  4. Select Enter Credit Info next to the name of the dependant who is transferring unused tuition amounts to you.
  5. Select Transfer my Child's Tuition and Education Amounts, then select Continue
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to select Tuition Transfer, enter the amount(s) of the transfer(s), then select Continue
