You only have to enter the T5 once. If you are going to be the partner who takes care of the T5, enter the percentage that will be claimed by a spouse on your tax return. If you and your spouse are preparing tax returns together, TurboTax will automatically transfer the percentage of each partner’s claim onto both partners’ returns.

Self-employed
First of all, start a new return.
If you both contributed equal amounts to the investment and you share money, you can each claim 50% of the amount shown on the T5 tax slip. Otherwise, you can claim the appropriate portion depending on how much you contributed to the investment account:
Amount to report = personal amount contributed/total amount contributed
For example:
Amanda and Phillip opened an investment account together that pays interest. Amanda contributed $1,000, and Phillip contributed $3,000.
They received a T5 slip with both names on it and an amount of $100 in Box 13.
Each will have to report a portion of this income on their tax returns:
- Amanda will report: $100 x $1,000/$4,000 = $25
- Phillip will report : $100 x $3,000/$4,000 = $75
