Lump-sum benefits
If you received a lump-sum CPP or QPP payment in 2023, parts of which were for previous years, report the whole payment amount on line 11400 of your 2023 return.
If the total of the parts that relate to previous years is $300 or more, the CRA will calculate the tax payable on those parts as if you received them in those years only if the result is better for you. The CRA will tell you the result on your notice of assessment or reassessment.
Attach a letter from Service Canada to your paper return showing the amount of the lump-sum benefit payment that relates to the previous years unless these amounts are shown on your T4A(P) slip.
