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 follow these instructions to claim your tuition fees. TurboTax will then automatically calculate the maximum amount of credits you may transfer to another party. Use this link to get step by step help.
