\nThe following is according to my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nFor many years I was enrolled in one post-secondary institution or another.<\/p>\n
\nA student is likely aware that tuition at designated educational institutions is, in many cases, tax deductible, at least to some extent. A form that denotes such expenses, it seems, is the T2202.<\/p>\n
\nNot being aware when T2202s are available, I logged in today to attempt to retrieve my one from 2025. Apparently, they are meant to be issued by the last day of February, so possibly aren’t ready yet.<\/p>\n
\nIt seems to me there are a couple of interesting things about post-secondary deductions. One is that, if I read correctly, a student attending both full-time and part-time at two different institutions can only deduct the tuition paid to one of them each month, not both. I’ve looked at the T2202 form (and you can here<\/a>): it establishes the months one was at the post-secondary institution. (There is follow-up about this in my next post.<\/a>)<\/p>\n \nAs to textbooks, apparently, the federal textbook tax credit was cancelled as of 2017. It seems some provinces or territories may still offer one.<\/p>\n \nPerhaps there might be more to talk about, relating to income tax, in future posts:)<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n canada.ca: Designated Educational Institutions….<\/a><\/p>\n support.hrblock.ca<\/a><\/p>\n canada.ca: T1-2025 Schedule 11<\/a><\/p>\n canada.ca: T2202 form<\/a><\/p>\n canada.ca: Textbook Amount<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about Canadian income tax: the tutor begins about deductions for students at colleges and universities.
