I will help you. Tuition can only be carried forward if you don't need it to bring your tax payable to zero. As long as you have tax to pay the whole amount will be used. If there is any left over after your tax payable is zero, it will automatically be carried forward so there is nothing you really need to do apart from enter the amounts from your slips. There is also an option to transfer some to a parent, spouse or grandparent when you don't use it all. Look on your Student Summary to see how it has been handled by TurboTax. This is found under Deductions/Students.

Is this a new rule? In previous years, my accountant only used certain amounts of my tuition credit and carried forward the rest. Why is that not an option in TurboTax? There is a "Tuition Fees Carryforward" option in the search menu and when I get to the page, it says "Your unused tuition amounts are used to reduce your tax payable to $0. You can carry any unused amounts forward until you need them." But then once I submit the amounts, the summary shows that the entire amount will be used and "Amount available to carry forward to future years" is 0.00. This contradicts what you are saying...
Is there an answer for this? I have the same issue, I do not want to use my entire tuition carry forward amount. Is there a way to claim a certain amount for 2019 and claim an unused amount to carry forward indefinitely till I need to use it!
Hi I need help on this as well, in your reply you said if I don't have tax payable the tuition will carry forward automatically, but now after I uploaded my T2202, in student summary last two lines: amount claimed in 2022 and amount available to carry forward to future years are both showing 0s. How do I carry my tuition forward? And I just checked my last year's filling, unfortunately, I didn't catch this last year and I neither used my tuition nor carried it forward.
