What is Form TD1NT?

Form TD1NT, the 2026 Northwest Territories Personal Tax Credits Return, is the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) form for people with taxable income in the Northwest Territories. It sits beside the federal TD1: the federal form covers federal tax, and the TD1NT lists the NWT non-refundable credits your employer or payer should allow when working out the territorial tax taken from your pay or pension.

The 2026 form has 12 lines. Its basic personal amount is printed at $18,198, and the spouse and eligible dependant amounts are that $18,198 minus the other person's net income. The NWT keeps a tuition and education line (your fees plus $400 or $120 for each month of study), a $1,000 pension amount, a $14,758 disability amount, and separate caregiver and infirm-dependant amounts of up to $6,032 each.

FileIt asks each question in plain language and prints your answers into the CRA's own fillable PDF (edition TD1NT E (26)). Your name and date of birth can come from the People records in your vault. FileIt works out the age, pension, tuition and education, disability, spouse and eligible dependant amounts and the line 12 total the way the form and Form TD1NT-WS do. The PDF is filed in the person's vault folder and can be signed with FileIt's optional e-signature. You give it to your employer or payer yourself, because FileIt never sends it. Filling forms is free on every plan.

How to fill out Form TD1NT, 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 social insurance number. Non-residents also give their country of permanent residence.

2 Line 1 – Basic personal amount

Every person employed in the Northwest Territories and every pensioner residing in the NWT can claim this amount, printed on the 2026 form as $18,198. If you will have more than one employer or payer at the same time, read the page 2 section first.

3 Line 2 – Age amount

If you will be 65 or older on December 31, 2026, and your net income will be $46,432 or less, enter $8,902. Between $46,432 and $105,779 you may enter a partial amount from the line 2 section of Form TD1NT-WS: $8,902 minus 15% of your net income above $46,432. FileIt calculates it.

4 Line 3 – Pension income amount

Enter whichever is less: $1,000 or your estimated annual pension from a pension plan or fund. Canada Pension Plan, Quebec Pension Plan, old age security and guaranteed income supplement payments don't count.

5 Line 4 – Tuition and education amounts

If you will pay more than $100 per institution in tuition fees, enter your total tuition fees plus $400 for each month you will be a full-time student, $400 for each month as a part-time student with a mental or physical disability, or $120 for each month as another part-time student. FileIt adds these up from your fees and months.

6 Line 5 – Disability amount

If you will claim the disability amount on your return using Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, enter $14,758.

7 Lines 6 and 7 – Spouse and eligible dependant

Line 6 is the difference between line 1 and the estimated net income of your spouse or common-law partner, if you support them, they live with you, and their net income will be less than line 1. Line 7 works the same way for an eligible dependant, if you have no spouse or partner you live with and support, and the dependant is related to you and lives with you. You can't claim both.

8 Lines 8 and 9 – Caregiver and infirm dependants

Line 8 is $6,032 if you care for 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 $20,601 or less (partial between $20,601 and $26,633). Line 9 is $6,032 for an infirm dependant aged 18 or older whose net income will be $8,559 or less (partial between $8,559 and $14,591). You can't claim the same dependant on both. The partial amounts come from Form TD1NT-WS, and you enter the results.

9 Lines 10 to 12

Line 10 takes unused amounts transferred from your spouse or common-law partner, and line 11 unused amounts transferred from a dependant. Line 12 adds lines 1 to 11. FileIt calculates the total.

10 Page 2 and certification

If you have more than one employer or payer at the same time and already claimed your credits on another 2026 TD1NT, tick the box, enter 0 on line 12 and leave lines 2 to 11 blank. If your total income will be less than line 12, tick that box and no tax will be deducted. Then sign and date the form.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting the monthly education amounts on line 4: the NWT adds $400 or $120 a month to your tuition fees.
  • Claiming the full spouse amount when your spouse or partner has some net income, since line 6 is $18,198 minus their net income.
  • Claiming the same dependant on both line 8 and line 9.
  • Claiming your credits in full with two employers at the same time.
  • Sending the TD1NT to the CRA instead of giving it to your employer or payer.

After you fill it out

Review the PDF, then sign and date the Certification on page 2, with FileIt's e-signature or a pen. Give the TD1NT to your employer or payer with your federal TD1. FileIt does not deliver it for you.

Keep any Form TD1NT-WS calculations for your records. A copy of the filled form stays in the person's FileIt vault folder. Fill out a new TD1NT whenever your circumstances change or your employer asks for a new year's form.

Form TD1NT: frequently asked questions

Can I fill out the TD1NT online?

Yes. FileIt guides you through the questions, prints your answers into the CRA's official 2026 TD1NT PDF, works out the amounts that follow fixed rules and the line 12 total, and saves the PDF to your vault. It is free on every FileIt plan.

What is the NWT basic personal amount for 2026?

The 2026 TD1NT prints $18,198 on line 1. Every person employed in the Northwest Territories and every pensioner residing there can claim it.

Where do I send my TD1NT?

Give it to your employer or payer, usually with your federal TD1. It doesn't go to the CRA.

What happens if I don't fill it out?

The form says your employer or payer will deduct taxes after allowing the basic personal amount only.

How do I ask for less tax to be deducted for RRSP contributions or donations?

Those aren't on the TD1NT. The form tells you to fill out Form T1213, Request to Reduce Tax Deductions at Source, to get a letter of authority from your tax services office, unless your employer already deducts your RRSP contributions from your salary.
