Form TD1NL

What is Form TD1NL?

Form TD1NL is the Newfoundland and Labrador Personal Tax Credits Return, published by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The form states its purpose: "Your employer or payer will use this form to determine the amount of your tax deductions." It is filled out based on the best estimate of the person's circumstances.

The blank on this page is the "2026 Newfoundland and Labrador Personal Tax Credits Return", edition TD1NL E (26).

Who fills out Form TD1NL?

The form is for people who have taxable income in Newfoundland and Labrador when one of the situations it lists applies: they have a new employer or payer and will receive salary, wages, commissions, pensions, employment insurance benefits, or any other remuneration; they want to change the amounts they claimed before; or they want to increase the amount of tax deducted at source. The form adds that if it is not filled out, the employer or payer will deduct taxes after allowing the basic personal amount only. The CRA's page on Form TD1 says that all individuals in Newfoundland and Labrador claiming more than the basic personal amount must fill out the provincial form TD1NL, and that a new TD1 form is not needed every year unless there is a change to the personal tax credit amounts.

What is on the form?

After the person's name, date of birth, address and social insurance number come the lines of the claim:

1. Basic personal amount
2. Age amount
3. Pension income amount
4. Tuition and education amounts (full-time and part-time)
5. Disability amount
6. Spouse or common-law partner amount
7. Amount for an eligible dependant
8. Caregiver amount
9. Amount for infirm dependants age 18 or older
10. Amounts transferred from your spouse or common-law partner
11. Amounts transferred from a dependant
12. Total claim amount: lines 1 to 11 added together

The form prints the conditions for each of these amounts. Partial claims for the age amount, the spouse or common-law partner amount, the amount for an eligible dependant, the caregiver amount and the amount for infirm dependants are worked out on a separate worksheet, Form TD1NL-WS, which the person keeps and does not give to the employer or payer.

Page 2 has sections for a person with more than one employer or payer at the same time and for a person whose total income for the year will be less than the total claim amount. To have more tax deducted at source, the form refers to the section "Additional tax to be deducted" of the federal Form TD1. To have less tax deducted because of deductions or non-refundable tax credits that are not listed on the form, it refers to Form T1213, Request to Reduce Tax Deductions at Source.

Signing and handing in

The person certifies that the information given on the form is correct and complete, signs and dates it, and gives it to the employer or payer. The CRA tells employers and payers to keep the completed forms with the individual's records and not to send the CRA a copy.
