prescribed uniform or at work associates must present a clean, neat and well-groomed appearance. Associate must be in
full and complete uniform while in view of guests at all times. This includes walking through the Park while on break, when
walking to your work location at the beginning of your shift, or when leaving for the day.

How to Complete your TD1Personal Tax Credit Forms

These forms are used to determine the amount of tax to be deducted from an individual's
employment income. There are federal and provincial TD1 forms. This package includes the
Federal TD1 Form and the Provincial TD1ON Form for Ontario residents. Seasonal Associates at
Canada’s Wonderland must fill out BOTH forms every season they are employed at the park.

How to Compete the Tax Forms:

Step 1: Your name and address should already be printed on the top of the form. If they
are not, please complete these sections.

Step 2: Print your Social Insurance Number in the corresponding box at the top of the
form.

Step 3: Review the possible additional claim reasons on lines 2 through 12 on the TD1
form and lines 2 through 11 on the TD1ON form. If the description in any of the lines
applies to you then you must follow the instructions and record the proper claim amount
on the corresponding line. If the description does not apply put a zero on the line.

Step 4: When you have an amount or a zero on all lines add up all the claim amounts
from lines 1 through 12 on the TD1 form and lines 1 through 11 on the TD1ON form. (If
you entered all zeros than your total at the bottom will be the Basic Personal Claim
amount on Line 1)

Step 5: On the second page of the form you will need to read the question under the
Heading: “Total income less than total claim amount”

“Check this box if your total income for the year from all employers and payers will be less
than your total claim amount at the bottom of the first page of this form. Your employer or
payer will not deduct tax from your earnings.”

What does this mean?

• If your estimated income from all your jobs combined in the calendar year will be
MORE than your total at the bottom of page 1 you must pay income tax on the
wages you earn. You will leave the box BLANK.

• If your estimated income from all your jobs combined in the calendar year will be
LESS than your total at the bottom of page 1 you do not have to pay income tax on
the wages you earn. You will CHECK OFF the box.

Note:
If you have more than one employer or payer at the same time and have already
claimed personal tax credit amounts on another TD1 form, you cannot claim them
again. If your total income from all sources will be more than the personal tax credits
claimed on another TD1 form, you must check the box on the back of the TD1 form
under the heading “More than one employer or payer at the same time”, enter "0" on line
13 on the front page and should not complete lines 2 to 12.

If required, additional assistance will be provided on the day of your appointment.
