2018 Tax Ontario Tuition Claim

[x8h258]

It seems there is no tuition claim for Ontario part on Schedule ON (S11) form. There is a significant difference between ON S11 (2017) form and (2018) form (see attached screenshot). Any explanation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Correct.

For 2018 return, you can't claim tuition fees anymore for Ontario credit, except the unused amount from the 2017. Ontario stopped the credit from 2017 September.

However, you can still claim them for federal credit.

估计在去年报2017tax的时候就有不少人没有注意，2017年度报税，就不能填写九月份的学费和月数。
如果不小心填了，得赶紧填表改正过来，避免不必要的利息和罚款。

联邦先没有的，安省只能跟。
你查查联邦的 Schedule11

联邦的有啊，只是书本费没了。

Thank you all for your detailed explanation! Got it.
A follow up question: I will get a job offer soon but the income is not high (~$45K), so can I defer my tuition deduction a few years later when I get a slightly higher income?
Thank you in advance.

Based on the current tax laws, you can carry forward the amounts to future years, or transfer to 'others'. However, the future tax laws can't be predicted and guaranteed.

If you can't take advantage of the credit in the current year, then you don't have much choice either, but to carry forward. Hope this helps.
