Student Tax Return (Canadian resident)
Canadian student income tax return filing covers a situation when a student is a resident of Canada. We prepare and file tax return for Canadian students who are full-time students, residents of Canada or received a scholarship grant from the Canadian government at a post-secondary school level. This specific tax return can be filed independently of the student’s families. Students eligible to claim moving expenses are full-time students who are enrolled in co-op program. The new location must be at least 40 km closer to the school. Full-time students are those who regularly attend an educational institution and take at least 60% of the educational program.
Not qualifying students who received education assistance can reduce the amount received by the $500 basic scholarship exemption. Please, check all the relevant documents to attach to your personal T1 tax return.
