Line 13000 – Other Income

Report any taxable income that is not reported or should not be reported elsewhere on your return.

In the space provided on line 13000 of your return, specify the type of income you are reporting.

If you have more than one type of income, attach a note to your paper return listing each type.

Report taxable scholarships, fellowships, bursaries and artists' project grants on line 13010.

To find out whether an amount is taxable, see Amounts that are not reported or taxed.


Note


Special rules apply to income from property that one family member loans or transfers to another. For more information, see Loans and transfers of property.

Lump-sum payments

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

If you received a lump-sum payment in 2025 that includes amounts earned in previous years, report the entire payment on your 2025 return.

Generally, these amounts are reported on line 13000. However, if the payment is from a specified pension plan (SPP) or money purchase registered pension plan, see the retirement income summary table to find out how to report it.

Retroactive lump-sum payments

If you received a qualifying retroactive lump-sum payment in 2025, parts of which relate to years after 1977, report the entire payment on the appropriate line of your 2025 return.

These amounts are shown on Form T1198, Statement of Qualifying Retroactive Lump-Sum Payment, provided by the payer.

You can ask the CRA to tax the portions relating to previous years as if you had received them in those years.

The CRA will apply this calculation if:

  • the portions relating to years you were resident in Canada total $3,000 or more (not including interest)
  • the result is more beneficial for you

The CRA will tell you the result on your notice of assessment or reassessment.

Completing your tax return

Report the total of the following amounts on line 13000 of your return:

  • Box 018 of your T4A slip
  • Box 22 of your T3 slip

Death benefits (other than CPP or QPP death benefits)

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

Death benefits (other than CPP or QPP death benefits) are shown in:

  • Box 106 of your T4A slip
  • Box 26 of your T3 slip

You may not have to pay tax on up to $10,000 of death benefits you receive. If you are the only recipient, report only the amount that is more than $10,000.

If you receive the benefit over more than one year, the total tax-free amount over all years cannot be more than $10,000.

If more than one person received a death benefit for the same person, see archived Interpretation Bulletin IT-508R, Death Benefits.

CPP or QPP death benefits

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.
