I enter a T2202a with tuition and study months & my refund goes DOWN. Remove the T2202, it goes UP. Something is not working right this year. Education is a deduction.

Addendum to my own question. This only happens if I enter any months under full time. If I enter them under part time, the refund goes up as expected. So there is something wrong with the calculation if full time months are entered.

Can you please advise us if you are using TurboTax Online or TurboTax CD/download version?

I am using Turbo Tax online in Canada. I have duplicated the error multiple times by moving the months of study number from full time to part time on 2 different T2202A forms. When anything is in the full time box, the calculation is incorrect.

The reason for this is, if you worked and have a T4 and go to school part time you might qualify for the Canada Workers Benefit- but if you go to school full time you are not allowed this credit which would make a big difference on your income tax refund.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
