Can i claim rent receipts in Manitoba?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax. Residents of Manitoba who pay rent may be able to receive a credit of up to 20% of rent payments (or $700 whichever is less). For more information on Manitoba’s Education Property Tax Credit, see the following links:

• CRA – Information for Residents of Manitoba
• Province of Manitoba – Personal Tax Credits

This credit is calculated as part of the provincial section of the tax return and has special rules of its own:

• Only one spouse claims the credit.
• If you share accommodations with roommates, only one of you can claim an education property tax credit for that residence for the time you were sharing.

Can I claim a tax deduction for my rent?
