I use the desktop version of Turbotax.
Short form of question: where is the value of line 46 of Quebec Schedule T set? It is in green which means it is calculated or set somewhere else, but I cannot find where it is set. As a result in order to use the 8% tax credit on tuition carried over from previous years (as calculated in Line 45 of Schedule T), I need to override line 46 of Schedule T and set it to the value of Line 45, which is probably not the way it should be done... Any suggestions?
Long form question: I have an unused portion of tuition fees that is carried over from a previous year. I have this carry over only at the provincial (Qc) level, not at the federal level. Line 45 of Schedule T calculates the maximum available credit using the applicable 8% rate. In principle, I should be able to set a value for Line 46 at anywhere between zero and the amount calculated on Line 45, but right now, line 46 is in green and set to zero. I want to set it to Line 45 in order to fully use the residual carryover credit. Can this be done without overriding Line 46?

In response to TurboTax Ginette,
1) Thanks for the quick reply
2) Per your suggestion, I followed the link you provided and tried calling and asking to speak to a representative but the automated system refused to connect me without a case number. Instead, it sent me a rather generic email linking to a bunch of irrelevant articles...
3) All I really want to know is where the value of Line 46 in Schedule T is set. Worst case, overriding line 46 works but I am concerned it may affect Netfiling, hence my desire to find out how to properly set the value.
Merci!
