What is Form TD1MB?

Form TD1MB, the 2026 Manitoba Personal Tax Credits Return, is the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) form for people with taxable income in Manitoba. You give it to your employer or payer alongside the federal TD1, and it tells them which Manitoba non-refundable credits to allow when they calculate the Manitoba tax taken from each pay or pension payment.

Manitoba's version has more moving parts than most. The basic personal amount on line 1 ($15,780 on the 2026 edition) is reduced once your net income goes over $200,000 and drops to 0 at $400,000, so it is an amount you fill in rather than one already printed. There is a tuition and education line that adds monthly amounts to your fees, and a line for the Manitoba Family Tax Benefit, worked out on Form TD1MB-WS from a set of benefit amounts less 9% of your net income. All of that fits on 13 lines on the front page.

FileIt asks the questions in plain language and prints the answers into the CRA's own fillable PDF (edition TD1MB E (26)). Names and date of birth can come from the People records in your vault, and FileIt does the arithmetic: the line 1 reduction for high incomes, the age amount, tuition plus monthly education amounts, the spouse and dependant amounts, the Family Tax Benefit and the line 13 total. The PDF is filed in the person's vault folder and can go out for optional e-signature. You give it to your employer or payer yourself — FileIt never sends it. It's free on every plan.

Who needs to fill out Form TD1MB?

  • Everyone employed in Manitoba and every pensioner residing in Manitoba who starts with a new employer or payer.
  • High earners whose 2026 net income will be over $200,000, because their Manitoba basic personal amount is reduced.
  • Students paying more than $100 per institution in tuition at a university, college or certified institution.
  • Families who may qualify for the Manitoba Family Tax Benefit on line 12, such as parents of dependent children.
  • Manitobans 65 or older by December 31, 2026, pensioners and people claiming the disability amount.
  • People supporting a spouse, an eligible dependant, a parent or grandparent aged 65 or older, or an infirm adult relative.

When to use Form TD1MB

  • When you start a new job or begin receiving a pension, employment insurance benefits or other remuneration and have taxable income in Manitoba.
  • When you want to change amounts you claimed earlier, for example because the number of your eligible dependants changed.
  • When your income moves above or below $200,000, which changes line 1.
  • When you start or finish studies, turn 65, have a child, or your family situation changes the Family Tax Benefit.
  • When you want more tax deducted at source — you do that on the federal TD1, but many people update both forms together.

What you need before you start

  • Your social insurance number, full name, date of birth, address and postal code.
  • Your employee number, if you have one.
  • An estimate of your 2026 net income from all sources — needed if it will be over $200,000, if you are 65 or older, or for the Family Tax Benefit.
  • Your expected annual pension from a pension plan or fund.
  • The tuition fees you will pay in 2026 and how many months you will study full-time or part-time.
  • The estimated net income of your spouse or common-law partner, or of an eligible dependant.
  • The number of dependent children born in 2004 or later, for the Family Tax Benefit.
  • Whether you will claim the disability amount using Form T2201.
  • Your federal TD1.

How to fill out Form TD1MB, step by step

1 Identification

Enter your last name, first name and initial(s), date of birth (YYYY/MM/DD), employee number, address, postal code and SIN. Only non-residents fill in the country of permanent residence box.

2 Line 1 — Basic personal amount

Everyone employed in Manitoba and every pensioner residing in Manitoba can enter $15,780. If your net income will be greater than $200,000, the form warns that claiming the full amount may leave you with an amount owing at year end; instead you calculate a reduced claim in the line 1 section of Form TD1MB-WS. At $400,000 or more, you enter 0.

FileIt applies the worksheet's reduction when you give an income above $200,000; leave your income blank and line 1 stays at $15,780.

3 Line 2 — Age amount

If you will be 65 or older on December 31, 2026, and your net income will be $27,749 or less, enter $3,728. Between $27,749 and $52,602 a partial amount applies, calculated in the line 2 section of Form TD1MB-WS. FileIt works it out from the income you enter.

4 Line 3 — Pension income amount

Enter whichever is less: $1,000 or your estimated annual pension from a pension plan or fund. CPP, QPP, old age security and guaranteed income supplement payments are excluded.

5 Line 4 — Tuition and education amounts

If you are a student at a university, college or institution certified by Employment and Social Development Canada and will pay more than $100 per institution in tuition, enter your total tuition fees plus $400 for each month as a full-time student, $400 for each month as a part-time student with a mental or physical disability, and $120 for each month as a part-time student without one.

FileIt asks for the fees and the months and adds them up.

6 Line 5 — Disability amount

If you will claim the disability amount on your return using Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, the 2026 edition says to enter $6,180.

7 Lines 6 and 7 — Spouse and eligible dependant

Both lines are the difference between $9,134 and the other person's estimated net income. Line 6 applies if you support your spouse or common-law partner who lives with you. Line 7 applies if you have no spouse (or one who doesn't live with you and you aren't supporting or supported by them) and the dependant is related to you and lives with you. You can claim one or the other, not both.

8 Line 8 — Caregiver amount

Enter $3,605 if you take care of a parent or grandparent aged 65 or older, or an infirm relative aged 18 or older, who lives with you and whose net income will be $12,312 or less. A partial amount applies between $12,312 and $15,917 (line 8 section of TD1MB-WS). You type this figure in yourself in FileIt.

9 Line 9 — Amount for infirm dependants age 18 or older

Enter $3,605 if you support an infirm dependant aged 18 or older who is related to you or your spouse and lives in Canada, with net income of $5,115 or less; partial between $5,115 and $8,720 (line 9 section of TD1MB-WS). You can't claim someone here whom you claimed on line 8.

10 Lines 10 and 11 — Amounts transferred

Line 10 takes the unused part of your spouse's age amount, pension income amount, tuition and education amounts or disability amount. Line 11 takes the unused part of a dependant's disability amount, or of your (or your spouse's) dependent child's or grandchild's tuition and education amounts.

11 Line 12 — Manitoba Family Tax Benefit

This line is calculated on page 2 of Form TD1MB-WS. For 2026 the worksheet starts with a basic benefit of $2,065, adds benefits such as $2,065 for the age amount or for a dependent spouse or eligible dependant, and $2,752 for a disability amount or for each dependent child born in 2004 or later, then subtracts 9% of your estimated net income. If the result is negative, the claim is 0.

FileIt asks the worksheet's questions and does the sum when you choose to claim it.

12 Line 13 — Total claim amount

Add lines 1 to 12. Your employer or payer uses this to determine your Manitoba tax deductions.

13 Page 2 — Choices and certification

Tick the first box if you have more than one employer or payer at the same time, have already claimed your credits on another 2026 TD1MB, and your total income will be more than those credits — then line 13 is 0 and lines 2 to 12 stay blank. Tick the second box if your total income will be less than your line 13 total. For less tax at source because of other deductions, use Form T1213. Sign and date the Certification.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Claiming the full $15,780 on line 1 when your net income will be above $200,000 — the form warns this can leave you owing tax.
  • Entering only tuition fees on line 4 and leaving out the monthly education amounts, or using the wrong monthly rate for part-time study.
  • Leaving line 12 blank when your family may qualify for the Manitoba Family Tax Benefit.
  • Forgetting that the Family Tax Benefit is reduced by 9% of your net income, so a high earner's claim is often 0.
  • Claiming both line 6 and line 7, or claiming the same person on lines 8 and 9.
  • Using another province's amounts — Manitoba's spouse, age and caregiver figures are its own.
  • Giving the form to the CRA instead of your employer or payer.

After you fill it out

Look over the PDF, then sign and date the Certification on page 2 by FileIt's optional e-signature or by hand. Give the TD1MB to your employer or payer along with your federal TD1. It doesn't go to the CRA, and FileIt doesn't deliver it for you. The TD1MB-WS worksheet itself stays with you — the form says not to give it to your employer.

The completed TD1MB is stored in the person's FileIt vault folder, so the figures behind your Manitoba deductions are easy to find later. Fill out a new one when your income crosses $200,000, a child is born, you start studying, you turn 65, or your employer asks for the new year's form.

Form TD1MB: frequently asked questions

Can I fill out the TD1MB online?

Yes. FileIt walks you through the TD1MB, calculates line 1 for high incomes, the age amount, tuition and education amounts, the spouse or dependant amount, the Family Tax Benefit and the total, and prints it all into the official CRA PDF saved in your vault. It's free on every FileIt plan.

Where do I send my TD1MB?

Give it to your employer or payer, usually with your federal TD1. The CRA doesn't collect it, and FileIt never submits it.

What is the Manitoba basic personal amount for 2026?

The 2026 TD1MB lists $15,780. If your net income will be greater than $200,000 you calculate a reduced amount on Form TD1MB-WS, and at $400,000 or more you enter 0.

What is the Manitoba Family Tax Benefit on the TD1MB?

It's line 12, calculated on page 2 of Form TD1MB-WS. You add a basic benefit and extra amounts for things like dependants, children born in 2004 or later and disability claims, then subtract 9% of your net income. The result, if positive, goes on line 12.

How do I work out the tuition and education amounts?

Add your tuition fees to $400 per month of full-time study, $400 per month of part-time study if you have a mental or physical disability, and $120 per month of other part-time study. Line 4 is only for students paying more than $100 per institution.

What if I don't fill out a TD1MB?

Your employer or payer will deduct taxes after allowing the basic personal amount only, according to the form.

How do I get more tax deducted in Manitoba?

Use the Additional tax to be deducted section of the federal TD1; the TD1MB points you there.

Do I hand in the TD1MB-WS worksheet?

No. The worksheet says to keep it for your records and not to give it to your employer or payer. Only the TD1MB itself goes to them.
