When an employee submits a TD1 form—either when they start or due to a change in their tax situation—it’s important to update their profile to reflect accurate tax deductions. This ensures compliance and that their pay is calculated correctly going forward.
The basic personal amount is applied by default. Follow the steps below only if the employee has an additional claim or selects claim code 0 on line 13.
1. Access the employee’s tax form
-
Go to Employees and select the applicable employee
-
Click View tax forms
2. Create a new tax form
-
Click Create a tax form
-
Select the calendar icon to set the effective date of the TD1 update
-
Choose the Type from the dropdown list (e.g. TD1 Personal Tax Credits Return for the federal form)
3. Enter claim information
-
In Total claim amount, enter the value from line 13 of the TD1 form
-
If applicable, enter any amount under Additional tax deductions
-
Click Create to finalize
4. Add additional tax forms if needed
To add another form (e.g. Provincial or Federal, depending on which one was entered first), repeat the same steps.
