Its showing that I have additional Education and Text book fees, but I don't remember adding them in. Im not sure where the number is coming from...Ive done my taxes with Turbo tax for 3 years now and have been filing things the same way. I thought I had been doing things right, but these alarms have me worried that I'm doing something incorrectly.
Think of the warning as a suggestion to double check your entry. Could CRA ask to see documentation? They can, for any amount claimed. If you claimed $100 CRA could ask for documentation. If they do, just make a copy of your T2202 and send that to them. That is your documentation and you are covered.
How much are the extra credits, and according to your T2202 how many part time/full time months education?
Remember you get $465 credit for each full time month, and $140 credit for each part time month. This is in addition to the fees paid.
The total of extra credits is $3700. so then what you're saying makes sense because on that form it also states that i have 8 full time months. so that plus my $5600 tuition fee puts me over $9000. Is that a problem though? Turbo Tax has said that anything over $5000 raises a red flag...
I apologize for the over caution, i'm just trying to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Thank you for getting back to me Jeffery
