The T3 slip, which I received from my discount broker, shows an amount in Box 42 of $42.39. The explanation for Box 42-Amount resulting in cost base adjustment-states that-"this amount represents a distribution or return of capital from the trust." It continues, "follow the instructions in the footnote area and adjust the cost base of the property at the end of the tax year. For more information, see information Sheet RC4169, 'Tax Treatment of Mutual Funds for Individuals'."
One problem is that there is nothing showing in the footnote area of the T3.
On the summary of trust income, which the broker included with the T3, the amount of $42.39 is shown in a column headed 'Return of Capital'.
Being a novice at this, can anyone explain to me how I need to proceed with this??
