The Canada training credit (CTC) is a refundable tax credit available to help Canadians with the cost of eligible training fees. You can claim the CTC for tuition and other fees paid for courses that you took in the year.

Started in 2019, this refundable credit is for Working Canadians who are in a training program to help alleviate the cost of training fees. The eligible person will receive an annual credit of up to $250 with a lifetime limit amount of $5000.

You can claim this credit if you fall under the following conditions;

You are between the ages of 25 and 65
You file your tax return for the year
Your Canada training credit limit for the year is greater than zero
You’re a resident of Canada for the year in question
Tuition and fees paid to an eligible educational institution for the year in question and these fees are eligible for the existing tuition tax credit.

For more information, you can visit the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website - Canada Training Credit

TurboTax automatically enters the Canada Training Credit because it is a tax credit that eligible taxpayers can claim on their tax return. By entering the credit automatically, TurboTax simplifies the process for taxpayers, ensuring that they do not miss out on claiming the credit and receive the maximum benefit available to them.

To be eligible for the Canada Training Credit, you must be between the ages of 26 and 65 at the end of the tax year, have an annual income of at least $10,000, and have contributed to a Canada Training Credit Account. The credit can be claimed against your federal tax owing and is calculated as the lesser of half of eligible tuition and fees or $250 per year, with a lifetime maximum of $5,000.

Your latest Notice of Assessment (NOA) will show a Canada Training Credit Limit (CTCL), if you are eligible.

If you are not eligible for Canada Training Credit and still getting the issue, you can contact TurboTax customer support for assistance. They can help you review your return and identify any errors. To contact them, please follow this link: Contact Us.
