Federal Line 24900 - Security options deductions

Claim on line 24900 of your return the total of the amounts shown in boxes 39, 41, 91, and 92 of your T4 slips.

Gifts of securities acquired under a security option plan

You can claim an additional deduction on line 24900 of your return for donating shares of a corporation listed on a designated stock exchange or mutual fund units that you acquired through your employer's security option plan.

The additional deduction is equal to 50% of the amount of the taxable benefit, which may effectively exempt from tax the employment benefit associated with the exercising of the stock option.
