How do I file the T2202A when I was only part time from Sept to Dec 2017? Do I enter the eligible tuition fees Jan 1-Sept 4, 2017 and Total for 2017 the same?

Also, in the part-time months. Would I leave Jan 1- Sept 4 at 0 and enter 4 in Total for 2017?

Depending on what province you live in, you may see two columns to enter your tuition amounts and FT/PT months. One column will have a date range and the other that says “Total For 2017” on top. The first column is for the provincial tax credit. Several provinces have changed or eliminated their tuition credits, and so you can only claim tuition for the part of the year when the credit was still available.

The “Total For 2017” is for the federal tax credit, and there you can claim any eligible tuition that you paid during any part of the year. Anything on your T2202A for 2017 would be considered eligible.
