Have a T4A(P) for death benefit for my father made out to the Estate of can my mother claim this on her tax return as she paid the funeral costs or on the estate return?

[TurboTax-Esther · Accepted solution]

Yes, mom can claim this on her tax return. I. Either mom or an adult child can claim the income. Or the trust can claim it. If there is nothing else on the trust return, it can be avoided by added the CPP death benefit to mom's return.(Trust returns are expensive)
