    Should I have filed Form T1142 or T1135?

    Should I have filed Form T1142 in 2016 or T1135?

    MIL from USA passed in Dec 2016.  In 2016 hubby was given(beneficiary) 1/2 annuity .. which he could leave in place up to 5 years .. did withdraw some in 2016 and 2017.  He also received a lump sum payment in 2016 for 1/2 value of her house.  His sister handled everything in the USA, she filed for unsupervised probate to sell house.  

    I have been reporting the interest earned but did not file anyT1142 or T1135 for 2016, I thought CRA meant property as in real estate??.  Anyhow, I did file T1135 in 2017?? 

    Should I have filed a T1142 for 2016, should I be filing T1142 each year money is taken from this annuity?  If so, if I file T1135 for other funds would I include the annuity on the T1135.  Or is it not included because it is technically not distributed yet???

    thanks, I will be using Turbo Tax this year for my taxes ..

    Should I have filed Form T1142 or T1135?

    Because there are multiple issues with filing a Trust return as well as T1 return from previous years for a deceased person, I would suggest you contact the CRA directly, they will give you directives on how to proceed with either the T1135 & T1142 for 2016 and onward. Keep in mind there are foreign tax implications that may need to be applied as well.

    Here is how to reach them: 1-800-959-8281

    Meanwhile, here are a few links that may assist you in understanding each form from the CRA
