Lines 26, 27 and 28 – Total income allocations and designations to beneficiaries ▲
Generally, a trust receives income and pays it to the beneficiaries according to the terms of a will or trust document. We call this allocating income (defined on page 6). In most cases, you enter the income on the T3 return in Step 2, then enter it on line 26 in Step 3, so the trust does not pay tax on the income. The beneficiary then has to report the income on their return. For more information, see "Schedule 9 - Income Allocations and Designations to Beneficiaries" on page 51.
In some cases, income that is allocated to a beneficiary may be taxed on the trust's return, instead of on the beneficiary's return. In other cases, income that is usually reported on the trust's T3 return may instead be reported on the beneficiary's T1 return. For more information, see "Exceptions and limits to income allocations" on page 53.
Note
Income allocated to a beneficiary that is not deductible
by the trust (other than a designated amount included in
line 27) should not be included on line 26, or reported on
Schedule 9.
On line 26, enter the amounts paid or payable to beneficiaries in the current year, including any amount designated by a preferred beneficiary election. On line 27, subtract the amounts claimed under subsections 104(13.1) and 104(13.2). Enter the result on line 28.
For more information, see "Income to be taxed in the trust" on page 54.
Tax tip
Line 28 has to equal the amount entered on line 928 of
Schedule 9.
