Completing your tax return
If you received this amount and you are a beneficiary of the deceased person's estate, report it on line 13000 of your return unless a T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return is being filed for the estate. For more information, see Guide T4011, Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons.
On what line do I report CPP death benefit?
Where the CPP or QPP death benefit is the only income of the estate and a T3 return is not otherwise required to be filed, the death benefit can be reported directly on line 13000 of the T1 return of the beneficiary.
How do I file CPP death benefit?
When an Old Age Security ( OAS ) and Canada Pension Plan ( CPP ) beneficiary dies, their benefits must be cancelled. Benefits are payable for the month in which the death occurs; benefits received after that will have to be repaid.
