Community FUNDRAISER SNOWIEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR
FINAL TAX RETURNS FOR THE DECEASED
The final tax return of the deceased will be more complex than their tax return would have been in a year preceding death. This is because property such as marketable securities, and registered accounts such as RRSPs and RRIFs, will be taxed as if they had been liquidated at the date of death. However, if these assets pass to a surviving spouse or common-law partner, a rollover will generally be available which will defer the taxation of these assets until that indi-
vidual passes away. In the year of death, personal tax credits can be claimed in full — they are not prorated to the date of death. The final tax return is due at the later of the normal tax filing due date for the year of death (i.e. April 30, 2014 or if the deceased or their spouse is self-employed, June 16, 2014 for the 2013 tax year) or six months after the date of death.
