See Tax Benefits for Education for more information on education tax credits.
T2202: Tuition and Enrolment Certificate in lieu of Form 1098-T
In order to claim the tax credit/deduction, a student must attend an eligible institution of higher education. U.S. institutions provide their students with a Form 1098-T verifying the tuition and other required information. A tuition and fees deduction may be beneficial if you cannot use the credit if your income is too high. The Internal Revenue Services has not developed a form for foreign institutions. The University of Toronto issues the T2202: Tuition and Enrolment Certificate. The University of Toronto does not issue the Form 1098-T.
- For tax filing and reference purposes, download your T2202 form via ACORN beginning February 21, each year.
