Why does adding my t2202a information lower my refund about $1000?

If you are a full time student for more than 13 weeks in the year, you are no longer eligible for the Working income tax benefit. If this is the case, once you enter your T2202A info, TurboTax correctly removes this benefit from your return. For more info please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns409-485/453-eng.html
