You are each responsible for your claim. You must enter the percentage of ownership according to you and your partner's portion. So if you both own the property 50/50, it should be split 50/50. You cannot change the percentages just to lower one spouse's tax liability.
If you are a co-owner or member of a partnership:
- Enter your percentage of ownership in the Identification area, and complete the Details of other co-owners and partners portion, including the co-owners/partners percentage of ownership.
- Enter the address and gross rental income for the entire property in the Income section. Do not split the gross income according to your ownership share.
- Enter the amount of deductible expenses you have as a co-owner or partner, whichever applies, that you did not deduct elsewhere on the form. Do not enter expenses if you were reimbursed for them.
- Enter the total amount of undepreciated capital cost (UCC), additions and dispositions on page 2. See Calculation of Capital Cost Allowance below.
- If you rent out part of the building that you live in, you can only claim the portion of your expenses that relate to the rented part of the building.
