?Can you split a pension if a spouse has died in 2019?

[TurboTaxLise · Accepted solution]

Sorry for your loss.

Yes, you can, but the split pension amount will be prorated based on the date of passing. For the year of death, the federal Income Tax Act (ITA) permits the executor of a deceased pensioner to split eligible pension income received before death with a surviving spouse or common-law partner.
