Should split pension amount show on line 11600 of other spouses's income?

I have elected to split my pension income.  It shows as a deduction on my return, but does not show on his return line 11600.

No, as seen in our TurboTax article Understanding Pension Income Splitting for Seniors 

  • The transferred portion is reported on Line 11600 of the 

    income tax re

    turn of the transferee.
  • The deducted portion is reported on Line 21000 of the transferor’s income tax return
  • When you transfer some of your pension income, your taxes paid which are associated with the transferred amount will be reduced and transferred on the transferee’s income return. So Line 43700 of both returns will be changed accordingly.
