@dflaman5 If you have income and you owe CRA then your Tuition fee will automatically get applied to bring your owing down. It is a non-refundable credit. It can only bring your owing down but cannot give you a refund back. Please refer to this CRA link. Your unused Tuition fee will be carried forward automatically to the next year.
The tuition tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit available to post-secondary students. For more information, please refer to this link from TurboTax Hub to understand how Tuition credits get calculated.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
