Manage rental income in Pro Tax

Rental income can be either income from property or income from business. Income from rental operations is usually income from property.

Use the T776 form only if you have rental income from property. If you are unsure whether the rental income is from property or income from business, consult an accountant.

Rental Statement for T1 in Pro Tax

The CRA form for rental income is the T776 – Statement of Real Estate Rentals. Use this form to enter rental income and expenses; use a separate form for each property if you have multiple rental properties. The income for loss from these forms flow to Line 12600 of the T1 General return.

The T776 has its own set of forms such as the asset and CCA forms. For example, to enter assets for the T776 – Rental Income you will have to open the T776 Asset form.
