Line 13000 - Other income

Report any taxable income that has not been or should not be reported anywhere else on the return. Specify the type of income you are reporting in the space provided on line 13000 of your return.

Attach a note to your paper return if you have more than one type of income. Specify each type of income you are reporting.

Note

Special rules apply for income from property that one family member lends or transfers to another. For more information, see "Other amounts you have to report on your return" on page 16.

Lump-sum payments

Report lump-sum payments from a pension or a deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP) that you received when you left a plan.

If you received a lump-sum payment in 2023 that included amounts you earned in previous years, you have to report the whole payment on your 2023 return.

Generally, these amounts are reported on line 13000 of your return; however, if you are reporting a lump-sum payment from a specified pension plan (SPP) or a money purchase registered pension plan, see the retirement income summary table on page 32 to find out how to report these amounts.

For information about retroactive lump-sum payments, see page 16.

Death benefits (other than CPP or QPP death benefits)

A death benefit is an amount that you receive on or after an employee's death in recognition of their service in an office or employment.

Death benefits (other than those from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Quebec Pension Plan (QPP)) are shown in box 106 of your T4A slips or box 26 of your T3 slips.

You may not have to pay tax on up to $10,000 of the benefit amount that you received. If you are the only one to receive a death benefit, report the amount that is more than $10,000. Even if you do not receive the full death benefit in one year, the total tax-free amount for all years cannot be more than $10,000.

To find out what to report if you and another individual both received a death benefit for the same person, see archived Interpretation Bulletin IT-508R, Death Benefits.

CPP or QPP death benefit

If you received a CPP or QPP death benefit as the beneficiary of the deceased person's estate, report the amount on line 13000 of your return unless a T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return is being filed for the estate. The CPP or QPP death benefit is shown in box 18 of the T4A(P) slip.

Other types of income

Report the following income on line 13000 of your return:
