Line 12100 – Interest and other investment income
Note: Line 12100 was line 121 before tax year 2019.
Interest and other investment income form part of your total income and must be reported on your return.
Interest, foreign interest and dividend income, foreign income, foreign non-business income, and certain other income are all amounts that you report on your return as interest and other investment income. They are usually shown on your T5 slip, T3 slip, and Form T5013.
You may not receive a T5 slip if the investment income is less than $50, but you must still report the income.
You also have to report the interest on any tax refund that you received in 2022 as shown on your notice of assessment or reassessment.

For children born in 2005 or later who report certain investment income, see line 40424.
