T2202A is an official statement for income tax purposes of the tuition and fees paid for qualifying courses that are eligible for claim on the income tax return. The form is usually available around the 1st week in February for the tuition and eligible fees paid in the preceding calendar year.
You can print your T2202A from the CrossRoad Online Services. T2202A forms are prepared for all students who have paid more than $100 in eligible fees for courses beginning and ending in a particular calendar year. Certain administrative and ancillary fees are not eligible for tax deduction.
No, the T2202A is not mailed you. Your T2202A form is available online through your CrossRoad Online Services account. You can print your T2202A as often as you like.
Students are not required to submit a printed copy of the T2202A form with their tax return, even if the T2202A credits are transferred to a parent. A printed copy is only required when requested by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as part of a formal audit.
The total amount of tuition fees paid may not necessarily correspond to your T2202A because not all tuition and related fees are tax deductible.
Fees that are not eligible include: NTCSA Student Fees, materials, goods of lasting value that you keep (such as a computer, art supplies, the cost of books) and certain other administrative fees.
The T2202A is based on the tax year (January to December) and not the school year.
NTC is required to make the T2202A available to the student directly. Students must use the T2202A on their own return until the Federal Tax payable is reduced to zero. At this point the student may transfer the balance of the credit to their parent using the information on the T2202A related to the transferring of the unused credit as per the Income Tax Act. The student is required to sign the T2202A authorizing the transfer.
In addition to claiming tuition and ancillary fees, you are also eligible to claim $400 for each month of full-time study or $120 for each month of part-time study. A full-time month equals at least 12 contact hours per week times three (3) consecutive weeks. A part-time month equals at least 3 consecutive weeks and involves a minimum of 12 hours of instruction each month.
You can use your T2202A form even if the address is incorrect. Remember that it is not necessary for students to submit the T2202A form with the tax return, but they must produce it if requested by Revenue Canada. We strongly suggest that you keep your address updated on the CrossRoad Online Services.
If you feel that the information on your T2202A form is incorrect, please review all of these FAQ's to ensure that you understand the period they are issued for and the amounts that are included and excluded. If after reviewing this information you feel that your form is incorrect, please contact the Registrar to discuss your form.
As per the Income Tax Act, students may not combine receipts from institutions to meet the minimum eligible fee.
Unfortunately we cannot. In-depth questions regarding the use of the T2202A form in the tax preparation process should be directed to the Canada Revenue Agency . Tax guides are available from any CRA office or Canada Post Office. CRA also publishes a booklet called "Students & Income Tax" - Government form P105 (E).
Yes, you can print your T2202A as many times as you like. Keep in mind that the T2202A does not get submitted with a student's tax return but is required when transferring amounts to someone else as permitted by the Canada Revenue Agency or if you are being audited.
There will be many times that the Office of the Registrar will assist you over the course of your academic studies at NTC. We are very happy to help you on every step of your journey, so come and see us or drop us a line anytime!
