I have been putting the water from dehumidifier in my toilet back tank. Does it harm the toilet or kill bacterian in the septic tank?

No. It's just distilled water. Won't hurt a thing.

It won't KILL anything specifically. I'm curious though. Is this just a means by which to dump that water? OR more to help the toilet flush?
If it has nothing to do with the toilet operation just pour the water in the bowl. If the toilet is malfunctioning; then perhaps that issue is as important.

Absolutely no harm done. You don't have to dump the water in the tank though, you can dump it directly into the bowl. As far as killing anything, no because it should be just clean water. If you want to kill bacteria I recommend a product called "Rid-X" depending on your location, you can usually find this product at your local hardware store.

Water is water its not going to do anything think of all the other stuff you put in your septic tank like bleach, soap, etc.

It won't hurt a thing and it's way better than just dumping the water down the drain. You paid to extract the water from the air; you may as well use it.

Keep moving around the lid on the tank and you'll be buying a replacement soon. Just dump the water in the bowl or a sink. Good god, it's just water. It has no magic properties.

It's not clean enough to be safely used for human consumption but should be ok to use in flushing.
