Step 2 –Total income

Report your income on lines 10100 to 14600 using your information slips along with the instructions provided on your return and on any applicable worksheet, schedule, and form. You may receive income that is not reported on an information slip, but that income still has to be reported. In this section of the guide, you will find information you may need to supplement the instructions provided on the return.

This section does not provide supplementary information for lines 10120, 12500, 14400, and 14600, as the instructions on the return provide the information you need.

Report foreign income and other foreign amounts

Report in Canadian dollars all foreign income and other foreign currency amounts (such as expenses and foreign taxes paid). In general, the foreign currency amount should be converted using the Bank of Canada exchange rate in effect on the day it arises. Alternatively, the CRA will also generally accept a rate for that day from another source if it is:

• widely available
• verifiable
• published by an independent provider on an ongoing basis
• recognized by the market
• used in accordance with well-accepted business principles
• used to prepare financial statements (if any)
• used regularly from year to year

Other sources that the CRA would generally accept include rates from Bloomberg L.P., Thomson Reuters Corporation and OANDA Corporation. In certain circumstances described in the Income Tax Folio S5-F4-C1, Income Tax Reporting Currency, an average rate may be used to convert foreign currency amounts. Also refer to that Folio for more information about this or converting foreign amounts generally. For more information about converting foreign income taxes paid, see Income Tax Folio S5-F2-C1, Foreign Tax Credit.

If you paid foreign taxes on foreign income you received, you may be able to claim a foreign tax credit when you calculate your federal and provincial or territorial taxes. For more information, see Form T2209, Federal Foreign Tax Credits, and Form T2036, Provincial or Territorial Foreign Tax Credit.

Line 10100 – Employment income

Emergency services volunteers
You may have received a payment from an eligible employer, such as a government, a municipality, or another public authority for your work as a volunteer ambulance technician, a volunteer firefighter, a search and rescue volunteer, or other type of emergency worker. The T4 slips issued by this authority will generally show only the taxable part of the payment in box 14 of your T4 slip, which is the part that is more than $1,000.

The exempt part of a payment is shown in box 87 of your T4 slips. If you provided volunteer emergency services for more than one employer, you can claim the $1,000 exemption for each of your eligible employers.

Security options benefits

Report taxable benefits you received in (or carried forward to) 2019 on certain security options you exercised. For more information, see Guide T4037, Capital Gains.

Wage-loss replacement plan income

If you received payments from a wage-loss replacement plan shown in box 14 of your T4 slips, you may not have to report the full amount on your return. Report the amount you received minus the contributions you made to the plan if you did not use them on a previous year’s return. Report on line 10130 of your return your total contributions to your wage-loss replacement plan shown in the supporting documents from your employer or insurance company. For more information, see Interpretation Bulletin IT-428, Wage Loss Replacement Plans.

Member of the clergy

If you received a housing allowance or an amount for eligible utilities as a member of the clergy and they are shown in box 14 of your T4 slips, report the amount shown in box 30 of your T4 slips on line 10400 of your return. Subtract the amount shown in box 30 of your T4 slips from the amount shown in box 14, and report the difference on line 10100 of your return.

Line 10400 – Other employment income

Report on this line the total of the following amounts:

• Report the amounts from your T4, T4A, and T4PS slips as instructed on the back of these slips.

• Employment income not reported on a T4 slip – Report amounts such as tips and occasional earnings. Fees for services shown in box 048 of your T4A slips must be reported on the applicable self-employment line (lines 13499 to 14300 of your return).

• Net research grants – Subtract your expenses from the grant you received and report the net amount on line 10400 of your return. Your expenses cannot be more than the amount of your grant. For more information, see Guide P105, Students and Income Tax.

• Clergy’s housing allowance or an amount for eligible utilities – Report the amount shown in box 30 of your T4 slips. You may be able to claim a deduction on line 23100 of your return. If a housing allowance or an amount for eligible utilities is shown in box 14 of your T4 slips, subtract the amount shown in box 30 of your T4 slips from the amount shown in box 14, and report the difference on line 10100 of your return.

• Foreign employment income – Report your earnings in Canadian dollars. See Report foreign income and other foreign amounts. If the amount on your United States W-2 slip has been reduced by contributions to a “401(k), 457, or 403(b) plan, US Medicare and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA),” you must add these contributions to your foreign employment income on line 10400 of your Canadian return. These contributions may be deductible. See Line 20700.

• Income-maintenance insurance plans (wage-loss replacement plans) – This income is shown in box 107 of your T4A slips. You may not have to report the full amount on your return. Report the amount you received, minus contributions you made to the plan after 1967, if you did not use them on a previous year’s return. For more information, see Interpretation Bulletin IT-428, Wage Loss Replacement Plans.
  Certain GST/HST and Quebec sales tax (QST) rebates – If you are an employee who paid and deducted employment expenses in 2018 or earlier, and you received a GST/HST or QST rebate in 2019 for those expenses, report the rebate you received on line 10400 of your return. However, a rebate on which you can claim capital cost allowance is treated differently. For more information, see Chapter 10 in Guide T4044, Employment Expenses.

• Royalties – Report these amounts on line 10400 of your return if you received them for a work or invention of yours. Report other royalties (other than those included on line 13500 of your return) on line 12100 of your return.

Line 11300 – Old age security (OAS) pension

If you have not received your T4A(OAS) slip, go to Employment and Social Development, or call 1-800-277-9914.

You may have to repay OAS benefits. For more information, see line 23500 of the return.

Line 11400 – CPP or QPP benefits

If you have not received your T4A(P) slip, go to Employment and Social Development or call 1-800-277-9914.

Lump-sum benefits – If you received a lump-sum CPP or QPP payment in 2019, parts of which were for previous years, you have to report the whole payment on line 11400 of your return for 2019. However, 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 results on your notice of assessment or reassessment.

CPP or QPP disability benefit (box 16)

Report on line 11410 of your return, your CPP or QPP disability benefits shown in box 16. This amount is already included in your income on line 11400 of your return, so do not add it again when you calculate your total income on line 15000 of your return.

CPP or QPP child benefit (box 17)

Report a child benefit only if you received it because you were the child of a deceased or disabled contributor. Any benefits paid for your children are their income, even if you received the payment.

CPP or QPP death benefit (box 18)

Do not report this amount if you are filing a return for a deceased person. If you received this amount and you are a beneficiary of the deceased person's estate, report it on line 13000 of your return unless a T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return is being filed for the estate. For more information, see Guide T4011, Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons.

Line 11500 – Other pensions and superannuation

See the back of your slips and the summary table for retirement income to find out where to report the amount.

Pension income splitting

You may be able to make a joint election with your spouse or common-law partner to split your pension, annuity, pooled registered pension plan, registered retirement income fund (including life income fund), and specified pension plan payments you reported on line 11500 of your return if both of the following apply:

• you were both residents of Canada on December 31, 2019 (or were residents of Canada on the date of death)
  
• neither of you were, because of a breakdown in your marriage or common-law relationship, living separate and apart from each other at the end of the year and for a period of 90 days or more beginning in the year
  

To make this election, you and your spouse or common-law partner must complete Form T1032, Joint Election to Split Pension Income. The transferring spouse or common-law partner must still report the full amount of income on line 11500 of their return, but can claim a deduction for the elected split pension amount on line 21000 of their return.

Pensions from a foreign country

Report in Canadian dollars your gross foreign pension income received in the year. See Report foreign income and other foreign amounts. In some cases, amounts you receive may not be considered pension income and you may have to report them elsewhere on your return.

United States individual retirement arrangement (IRA) – If during the year you received amounts from an IRA or converted an IRA to a “Roth” IRA, call the CRA.

United States Social Security – Report on line 11500 of your return the full amount, in Canadian dollars, of your U.S. Social Security benefits and any U.S. Medicare premiums paid on your behalf. You can claim a deduction for part of this income. See Line 25600.

Line 11600 – Elected split-pension amount

Report on this line the amount of pension income transferred to you by your spouse or common-law partner if you both made a joint election to split pension income by completing Form T1032, Joint Election to Split Pension Income. For more information, see Line 11500.

Line 11700 – Universal child care benefit (UCCB)

Report the UCCB lump-sum payment you received in 2019 for prior tax years.

If you were a single parent on December 31, 2019, you can choose one of the following options:

• include all the UCCB lump-sum payment you received in 2019 in the income of the dependant for whom you are claiming the amount for an eligible dependant (line 30400 of your return). If there is no claim on line 30400, you can choose to include all the UCCB amount in the income of a child for whom you received the UCCB. If you choose this option, enter on line 11701 of your return the amount shown in box 10 of the RC62 slip. Do not report the amount on line 11700 of your return
  
  
• include all the UCCB lump-sum payment you received in 2019 in your own income. If you choose this option, report on line 11700 of your return the amount shown in box 10 of the RC62 slip. Do not report the amount on line 11701 of your return
  

Special calculation – If the UCCB lump-sum payment is $300 or more, the CRA will calculate the tax payable as if you received the amount in each of the previous years, if the result is better for you. The CRA will tell you the results on your notice of assessment or reassessment. This special calculation will not apply if you designated the lump-sum payment benefit to a dependant and entered the amount on line 11701 of your return.

Line 11900 – Employment insurance and other benefits

See the back of your T4E slip to find out how and where to report these amounts.

If you have received employment insurance maternity and parental benefits or provincial parental insurance plan benefits, see line 11905 for additional instructions on reporting these amounts.

If you have already repaid excess benefits you received, directly to the payer of your benefits, you may be able to claim a deduction. See Line 23200.

Line 11905 – Employment insurance maternity and parental benefits and provincial parental insurance plan benefits

New Report the amount of the employment insurance maternity and parental benefits you received in 2019 on this line. This amount can be found on the letter you received from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Also report on this line the amount of provincial parental insurance plan (PPIP) benefits from box 36 of your T4E slip.

In both cases, these amounts are already included in your income on line 11900 of your return, so do not add them again when you calculate your total income on line 15000 of your return.

Line 12000 – Taxable amount of dividends (eligible and other than eligible) from taxable Canadian corporations

Complete the chart for lines 12000, 12100, 12010 and 22100 on the Worksheet for the return and report your dividends as follows:

Also, report amounts credited to you but that you did not receive (such as amounts that were reinvested). Generally, you report your share of interest from a joint investment based on how much you contributed to it.

Information slips

The amounts to report include those shown in boxes 13, 14, 15, and 30 of T5 slips, box 25 of T3 slips, and boxes 128 and 135 of T5013 slips. Also, report the interest on any tax refund you received in 2019, which is shown on your notice of assessment or reassessment.

Foreign income

Bank accounts

Report interest paid or credited to you in 2019, even if you did not receive an information slip. You may not receive a T5 slip for amounts under $50.

Term deposits, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), and other similar investments

The income you report is based on the interest you earned during each complete investment year. For example, if you made a long-term investment on July 1, 2018, report on your return for 2019 the interest that accumulated to the end of June 2019, even if you do not receive a T5 slip. Report the interest from July 2019 to June 2020 on your 2020 return.

Treasury bills

If you disposed of a treasury bill when it matured in 2019, you have to report as interest the difference between the price you paid and the proceeds of disposition shown on your T5008 slips or account statement.

If you disposed of a treasury bill before it matured in 2019, you may also have to report a capital gain (or loss). For more information, see Guide T4037, Capital Gains.

Earnings on life insurance policies

Report the earnings that have accumulated on certain life insurance policies in the same way as you do for other investments. Your insurance company will send you a T5 slip. For policies bought before 1990, you can choose to report accumulated earnings every year by telling your insurer in writing.

Line 12200 – Net partnership income: limited or non-active partners only

Report on line 12200 of your return your share of the net income (or loss) from a partnership if the partnership did not include a rental (see Line 12600) or farming operation (see Lines 13499 to 14300) and you were either:

• a limited partner
  
• not actively involved in the partnership and not otherwise involved in a business or profession similar to that carried on by the partnership

For more information, see Guide RC4177, Death of an RRSP Annuitant.

RRSPs for spouse or common-law partner

Your spouse or common-law partner may have to report some or all of the RRSP income shown in boxes 20, 22, and 26 of your T4RSP slips if they contributed to any of your RRSPs in 2017, 2018, or 2019.

Line 14500 – Social assistance payments

Report the amount shown in box 11 of your T5007 slip or the federal part of your Quebec Relevé 5 slip, unless you lived with your spouse or common-law partner when the payments were made. The spouse or common-law partner with the higher net income on line 23600 of their return (not including these payments or the deductions on line 21400 or line 23500 of their return) must report all the payments, even if that person’s name is not shown on the slip. If this amount is the same for both of you, the person named on the T5007 slip (or the prestataire on the federal part of the Relevé 5 slip) must report the payments.

You do not have to report certain social assistance payments you or your spouse or common-law partner received for being a foster parent or for caring for an adult with a disability who lived with you. However, if the payments are for caring for your spouse or common-law partner or any person related to either of you, whoever has the higher net income must report those payments.

New You do not have to report income you received for social assistance payments under a program of the Government of Canada or the government of a province that meet the following conditions:

• the payments are made for the temporary care and upbringing of a child in need of protection
• the child would be considered your child if you did not receive payments under the program (the child is wholly dependent on you)

Other amounts you need to report throughout the return

Retroactive lump-sum payments

If you received a lump-sum payment of eligible income in 2019, parts of which were for previous years after 1977, you must report the whole payment on the appropriate line of your return for 2019. These amounts are shown on a completed Form T1198, Statement of Qualifying Retroactive Lump-Sum Payment, provided by the payer.

You can ask the CRA to tax the parts for previous years as if you received them in those years. The CRA can apply this calculation to the parts that relate to years throughout which you were resident in Canada if the total of those parts is $3,000 or more (not including interest) and the result is better for you. The CRA will tell you the results on your notice of assessment or reassessment.

You may also have to report capital gains (line 12700 of your return) or losses from property you loaned or transferred to your spouse or common-law partner.
