I claimed my monthly rent payment in Manitoba EPTC (rent paid). Then, I was asked about school taxes paid for principal residence for 2020. I have no idea how much it should be.
If you did not pay school taxes, you do not enter any amount.
As per the Manitoba Tax Assistance Office
Education Property Tax Credit
Whether you own or rent your home, you could be eligible to save up to $525 with the Manitoba government’s Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC). The credit is provided by the province of Manitoba to help cover the school taxes you pay, or a portion of your rent either directly on your municipal property tax statement or through your income tax return.
If you own or rent a home in Manitoba, you may be eligible to claim the Manitoba education property tax credit to help cover the rent and/or school taxes you pay. A maximum credit of $700 is available for the tax year 2020.
