Ontario Canada Tax Questions?
I have two questions... 1) i finished claiming all of my basic tuition on last years Tax's. But my friend said she went to H&R block and they called the government and asked if she had any unused credit and they said yes. What exactly are these Credits? She said it was seperate from her Tuition. it uped her refund with tuition from $800 to $2400 ... O.o She said she "THOUGHT" they mentioned it had to do with getting a job in her feild and that they told her she could not have claimed them untill she got her current job (In her feild) ANY ideas? and also what other type of Credits are there that could be claimed by myself... what are credits?? i was on unimployement for 3 and a half months if that matters due to layoffs. Also i bought a computer for work (it was a computer animation job) that i needed to do work at home. It was not stipulated in my contract that i HAD to have one. But i was told by other imployies that they claimed there's. I was on "CONTRACT" work. Sorry this is so long haha... So can i call the "Government" as ask if i have any unused Credit? if so what # should i call? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME... i am super broke, so i am praying i wont owe as i think i was under taxed by my last job :(

- She would have had tuition paid in prior years that was not claimed as a tax credit because it likely was not needed to reduce her tax to zero. Unused tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely. You go to Schedule 11 and enter the opening balance for 2007 (the ending balance from 2006) of unused tuition credits. Call CRA at 1-800-959-8281 (press * right away to get a human) and ask if there is unused tuition. It is also printed on your Notice of Assessment. If you have children, there is a new $2,000 non-refundable tax credit. There is also a fitness credit for children sports. There is a credit for monthly bus passes. You cannot claim anything for the computer you purchased. There is no provision in the tax code that allows this for employed persons (rather than self employed).
