Tuition transfers from children - ON
question for the masses...
Using StudioTax, living in Ontario
trying to transfer tuition credits from my kid's return to mine.
completed their return (first return for them, no income for 2025, only the t2202 from their school with $6k+ of tuition)
on their return, I designated $5k to transfer (the max), they're keeping the rest for future years
open my (& my spouse) return, go to the dependant section, and claim $5k as transferred from that kid.
shows up on my federal return (increased the federal credits), but doesn't seem to hit my provincial anywhere. looking at the ON forms, there is a line "tuition transferred from your spouse" but not from kids... ChatGPT says there should be an obvious line for it
it's making about a $700 improvement in my taxes, but I want to make sure it's maxed.
is there an Ontario tax benefit to transferred tuition from children, or not? I can't find anything elsewhere to support or refute ChatGPT
