I am 42-year-old married father of two children, aged 4 and 7. I currently receive a CPP Disability pension. When the T4A(P) tax slips arrived, I received a T4A(P) where the Taxable CPP benefits (Box 20) amount matched the amount shown in Disability benefits (Box 16). Then, as part of CPP Disability, each of my children, aged 4 and 7, received a T4A(P) where the Taxable CPP benefits (Box 20) amount matched the amount shown in Child benefit (Box 17). I have searched forums and talked tax preparation services, but I can not get a clear, definitive answer to the following questions:
1) Do these amounts issued in my children's names need to be claimed?
2) Who claims these amounts? Should I be claiming this amount on my return, or should I be filing separate returns for each of my children?
