Student Tax Information and FAQ Introduction For 2004 and subsequent years, official Tuition and Education Amount Certificates (T2202As) will be available online at http://www.unbc.ca/ after February 28 each year. Forms will not be automatically mailed to students as in previous years. Students who turn 16 years old or over during the taxation period may be eligible for a T2202A. To be eligible for a tuition tax credit, students must have total tuition fees exceeding $100 in a taxation year. To be eligible for an education tax credit, the program of study must last at least three consecutive weeks and at least twelve hours per month. You are not required to attach a paper copy of the T2202A form to your tax return. When transferring amounts to someone else as permitted by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or if you are being audited by CRA, the form printed online meets CRA requirements. Your T2202A tax information will continue to be available at http://www.unbc.ca/ for seven years. General (1) How, where and when do I receive my T2202A?
