I took a beauty course and was given a receipt. From what I understand I can claim the expense as education. Can someone tell me where to enter this? Thank you

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you may claim courses that pertain to your profession as an expense. If you are a commission employee:

You can deduct the cost of a training course as an employment expense. The course has to maintain, upgrade, or update your existing skills or qualifications that relate to your employment.

If you cannot deduct the cost of a training course as an employment expense, you can claim it as a tuition amount as long as you meet the conditions described in Pamphlet P105, Students and Income Tax. For more information and additional examples, read Interpretation Bulletin IT-357R2 Archived - Expenses of training.

Note: You cannot deduct the cost of a training course as an employment expense if the course is for personal reasons, the cost is unreasonable, or you receive a lasting benefit from the course. For example, you receive a lasting benefit when you take a course to get a credit towards a degree, diploma, professional qualification, or similar certificate.
