It's February 15, after you completed your financial planning and taxation course. Coincidently, your parents are big planners too, and they're trying to get their taxes ready to go so they can file everything as soon as possible. As they help you with school, they want to know if you'll have any unused tuition to transfer to them. So, you reviewed your inflows and outflows from last year and have noted some of that information in the table below. Use the information to determine your taxable income, your non- refundable credits, and your total federal and provincial tax payable for the year. You can refer to the Top Hat Appendix, which includes information about tax brackets and tax credits. Then, determine how much tuition credit you can transfer to your parents for the taxation year. Also, your grandparents just gave you $1,500 for your birthday (they're so great!) and you need to decide where you're going to save that money. After all, you're a "pay yourself first" kind of individual. Discuss what option(s) you have and the pros and cons of your option(s).
