Income from copyright

How do I enter copyright income with DT Max?

Income from copyright may be considered professional income or investment income, or other. Therefore, you must enter such income by using the relevant keyword, as the case may be (e.g. Business, T-Slip).

Only Quebec grants a deduction for such income. To claim it, you must enter the amount of that income again, with the keyword ADD-DEDUCT, option Ded. respecting copyright income.

Note that this keyword is only used in the calculation of that deduction. Therefore, DT Max will not report any such income on page 1 of the return but will however enter a deduction on line 297.

For more information on the calculation of that deduction, see the workchart for line 297.
