If you have elected to transfer your spouse's tuition to your return, yet you are not seeing a reduction of your own tax payable (resulting in a larger refund or lower balance due), it could be due to a few different reasons.
Tuition is a Non-Refundable Tax Credit that must first be used to reduce the tax payable or liability of the student. Tax payable is what is calculated on your income entries, not the bottom line of a refund or balance due.
Check if any of the following situations apply to you and you should be able to determine why you are not seeing anything on your own tax return.
You should look on your spouse's Student Summary and see how much (if any) of the tuition was used by the student first. It shows up as Amount Claimed in 2019.
