What Is a T5013 Partnership Tax Return?

The T5013 Statement of Partnership Income is an annual tax return filed by partnerships in Canada. It reports the partnership’s income, deductions, and credits, as well as the allocation of these amounts to individual partners. While partnerships are not taxed at the entity level, each partner must report their share of income or losses on their personal or corporate tax returns.
