    If you have a spouse/partner or child that meets all requirements set out by the CRA, you're eligible to receive tuition transfer amounts on your tax return.

    For coupled returns, you'll enter your income info and your student spouse's income, deductions, tuition, and education info, including:

    • Completing their Tax profile, including checking the box for Student expenses, tuition fees, or tuition from a prior year
    • Completing their Deductions section and their Students section of their return, ensuring that:
      • Boxes are checked for Tuition fees and Transfer of tuition and education to a spouse
      • Amounts are entered for tuition fees and number of months of attendance

    For more information, refer to to the TurboTax; How do I enter tuition transferred from my spouse/partner or child?
