I entered my unused tuition amounts in the deduction section, but on the next page, turbotax shows that I claimed my unused tuition amounts. I want to carry forward. How?

Should I leave the "Unused tuition and education amounts" blank?

Yes, if you want to carry forward unused tuition amounts, you don't need to enter any amounts on your current return. 
Unused tuition fees are tracked by CRA and amounts are reported on your Notice of Assessment.
Amounts may be seen in My Account and are downloadable using AutoFill (AFR).
