I have been filing Section 216 returns under my husbands name only, but we both own the rental house. Should I start listing myself as a co-owner or just leave it?

The house is in Canada and we started filing Section 216 returns when we moved to the United States 25 years ago.

I've been unable to find anything that definitively says you both need to file the Section 216 return. As long as you are reporting the full amount on your husband's return and not splitting it 50/50, it should not pose a problem. Changing it now after this many years may cause CRA to question it as their computers tend to be programmed to detect changes in reporting.
