I hope I didn’t duplicated my post, something is weird, I though I posted a message regarding the BC S11 tuition credit. But not showing.
Anyways, a client had unused federal and provincial amount, same amount on the last NOA, but there was no alert message for me to check until I printed the return and saw it on this year’s eng letter that the federal and provincial is not the same, I went into the BC S11, that’s where I saw a message about carried forward amount. I kind of have to manually, right clicked on that field that’s where it asked me to fill in the AFR amount.
Anything I missed in the AFR?
Provincial and federal need not be the same. For example, in NS, there is a $200 per month addition which is not on the federal schedule. So here, the two are never the same. AFR seems to track the carry-forward correctly.
I think it’s a little different in my situation, the client is in BC, and AFR did the autofill on the federal S11, but not on the provincial S11, When I saw the number are not the same in the final review, I went to carryforward summary, and right click on the provincial unused tuition amount, that’s when it asked me if I wanted to use the carried forward provincial amount. During the review section, no message popped up asked me that. If I wasn’t looking at the final client letter before sending it out, I wouldn’t be going back to check that section.
