my dad is going to deduct my tuition fees. in fact he paid. do I still have to fill out this information in my tax return or just don't mention it there ? Thanks !

In order to transfer your unused tuition credits to someone else, you'll first need to inform them of the precise amount(s) so that they can claim them on their own tax return. The first step is to enter your income information into TurboTax, then claim your tuition fees. TurboTax will then automatically calculate the maximum amount of credits you may transfer to another party.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
