How to I claim the cpp death benefit and make it non taxable. I paid for funeral expenses and meet the requirement for it to make it non taxable but can’t figure out how?

Sorry for your loss. If you are speaking of the one time payment, please see the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for information. 

Not taxable in certain circumstances

A CPP/QPP death benefit will generally not be taxable if the recipient is not the estate or a beneficiary of the estate, and all of the following circumstances apply:

• The taxpayer who received the death benefit paid the deceased's funeral expenses
• The amount of the death benefit is not more than the funeral expenses
• The deceased has no heirs, and there is no other property in the estate

To clarify further information, please contact the CRA by calling them at 1-800-959-8281.
