What manifold structure is natural for the codomain of a differential form defined on a manifold?
$begingroup$
It is well known that a differential form $omega$, of degree $r$, defined in a manifold $M^m$ is an application that at each point $pin M^m $ associates an alternating $r$-linear form $omega(p)in bigwedge^{r}(T_pM^m)$.
I understand that codomain of the differential form $omega$ would then be $bigcup_{pin M} bigwedge^{r}(T_pM^m)$.
Question. What manifold structure is natural for the codomain $bigcup_{pin M} bigwedge^{r}(T_pM^m)$ of a differential form $omega$ defined on a manifold $M^m$?
By "natural" I mean that if the form $omega$ is a $ C^k $ form, then the application
$$
omega: Mto bigcup_{pin M} bigwedge^{r}(T_pM^m)
$$
is a $C^k$ application between the manifolds $M$ and $bigcup_{pin M} bigwedge^{r}(T_pM^m)$.

Are you taking about the tangent bundle?
