How should T5 Income reported jointly be slpit for a spouse who died in November 2017

The T5 income reported jointly with spouse was split in prior years 50/50%.  Wife passed away November 3, 2017.  Can the T5 income still be split 50/50% for the 2017 tax year or does it have to be pro-rated?

Technically, you would determine what portion of the total interest reported in the T5 was interest received up to Nov 3, 2017 and then you would split that amount 50/50.  The difference between the total T5 amount and this 50/50 split amount up to Nov 3 would be the balance to be reported by you in your tax return.
