Do you have taxes payable? What province are you in? Which version of TurboTax are you using? Is it Online or is it the CD/Desktop edition?

I am using the Standard Version and I am in Quebec. I have tuition money but it won't let me claim it in my deduction for 2018

Do you have taxes payable? Are you getting an error message?

The tuition credit is non-refundable. You only get the credit if you have tax payable. It will not add to a refund. So if you are already getting a refund, you won’t get the tuition credit, instead it will carry forward to future years to be used when you do have taxes owing.
