What do I do if CPP Death Benefit, Box 18 & 20 on T4A(P) slip, is split between 2 executors?

If multiple beneficiaries split the amount of the CPP Death Benefit, each reports his or her share on their own tax return in Box 18 of the T4A(P). Each person should have a copy of the T4A(P) slip to submit to CRA if requested to. (If paper filing your tax return include your copy of the slip with an explanation).

As a beneficiary, where do I enter my share of the amount on the tax form?

Thank you.  I see that my question was already answered.  My mistake.
