23. I was a full time student in 2011. I worked in July & August. I use an online tax program to complete my return. When I entered by T4 information, I had a credit. Then when I entered my tuition information from my T2202a form, my return decreased quite significantly. I thought tuition counted in your favor and should have increased mt return?
