Line 32300 – Your tuition, education, and textbook amounts
The federal education and textbook tax credits were eliminated in 2017. To see if you are eligible to claim a provincial or territorial amount, go to Income tax package.
To claim your tuition fees you must have received one of the following forms from your educational institution:
- Form T2202, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate
- Form TL11A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate – University Outside Canada
- Form TL11C, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate – Commuter to the United States
- Form TL11D, Tuition Fees Certificate – Educational Institutions Outside Canada for a Deemed Resident of Canada
Notes
Contact your educational institution if you have not received one of these forms.
To claim your tuition fees, you may instead receive an official tax receipt from your educational institution to reflect the amount of eligible tuition fees you have paid for a calendar year.
Using the slip and the links below, you can find out what you can claim and how to make your claim.
