Getting started

I have the same issue. On my T5008 it shows 4 dividend (DRIPS) amounts related to one stock and another 4 for another stock, I have some questions about this I can't find the answers to anywhere. Help?

 

1. I've read I can just total the share and value amounts for each of the two stocks and use Dec. 31 as the date for both. In which box do I put the total value of these dividends? In box 19 (Face Amount)?

2. Do I check "Capital Gain" or "Investment" under Box 19?

 

I want to report everything but I don't want to be taxed twice as everything seems also to be on my T5. And I think I might have read that entering $amounts in Box 20 or 21 can cause a problem if it's just a reinvested dividend.

 

Thanks for any help!!!
