Sorry, but funeral expenses are not an eligible deduction and cannot be claimed on any tax returns.
The CPP Death Benefit is a payment made that is supposed to help with funeral expenses for a deceased CPP contributor. This is a taxable benefit that must be reported by the surviving spouse or common-law partner of the deceased; or the next-of-kin of the deceased.
Hi, my dad passed away back in Oct 2020. My mom received a $2500 death benefit. If I understand correctly, my mom has to report this on her tax return. I have the TurboTax Standard download version, where do I enter this?
