This item will only appear if the "Deceased" section has been entered in the deceased person's file. To do this, go to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab" and select the topic "Interview setup".

On the right-hand page, in the first group titled "Specific Situations", check the box labelled "Tax return for a deceased person" and click "Next" at the bottom of the page.

Return to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab" and for the item "Deceased", enter the required fields.

Subsequently, based on Form RC249 that you submitted to the issuer of the RRSP or RRIF, go to the "Post-death decline in the value" item and enter the information you received from the RRSP or RRIF issuer.
