Where do I put expenses for 2 courses I took and books I purchased

[Duy Duc Dao]

Before reporting your school expenses and textbook purchased, you should determine if you are qualifying for both of these below conditions:

• taken at a post-secondary education institution
• for individuals, 16 years of age or older at the end of the year, who are developing or improving skills in an occupation, and the educational institution has been certified by the Minister of Employment and Social Development Canada.

When you are eligible for that, you must complete and file Schedule 11 with your Income Tax and Benefit Return, even if someone else paid your fees. For how to complete Schedule 11, this link below will guide you in more details.
