T2202 or T2202A form is not needed by Netfile/Efile, but you need to use the information on the T2202 or T2202A form to fill out Schedule 11 in a tax return to calculate tuition tax credit.

Your child can transfer unused tuition and education amounts to you. This process has two steps:

Step 1: In the child's return

Use T2202 or T2202A form to fill out Schedule 11 (both federal and provincial) in the child's tax return. Based on the information you enter, Schedule 11 will calculate the maximum amount that can be transferred to others on line 23, if any. Enter an amount the child wants to transfer in field 32700 of Schedule 11.

Step 2: In the parent's return

Enter the transfer amount (the same amount as in field 32700 of Schedule 11 from the child's return) into field 32400 on page 5 of the T1 tax form, and in field 58600 on page 1 of the provincial tax form.

In an older version, field numbers are 3/4 digits, related fields are 327 on sch 11, 324 on page 1 of sch 1, and 5860 on the provincial tax form
