I already completed my tax return but I need to transfer my tuition fees to someone. Is there a way I can go back and edit the tuition deduction?

In order to transfer your unused tuition credits to someone else, you'll first need to inform them of the precise amount(s) so that they can claim them on their own tax return. The first step is to enter your income information into TurboTax, then claim your tuition fees. TurboTax will then automatically calculate the maximum amount of credits you may transfer to another party.

Follow the applicable steps below to transfer your unused tuition credits in TurboTax:

You can request a change to your tax return by amending the amount entered on specific line(s) of your return. Do not file another return for that year, unless the return you want to amend was a 152(7) factual assessment.

Wait until you receive your notice of assessment before asking for changes to your return.

Generally, you can only request a change to a return for a tax year ending in any of the 10 previous calendar years. For example, a request made in 2022 must relate to the 2012 or a later tax year to be considered.

There are two ways to adjust your tax return: ReFILE and by mail

For more information, please see the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) link as How to change a return

Thank you for using TurboTax

You can make changes to a filed tax return by filing an adjustment or by using Refile. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires that you wait until you’ve received your Notice of Assessment (NOA) before filing an adjustment. In many cases, the CRA will catch the mismatch and automatically adjust your return for you.

How you file your adjustment depends on how your original tax return was filed, and whether it was a federal or Québec return.
