This document provides guidance for Canadian taxpayers on reporting income and claiming deductions from investments in Maple Leaf Energy Income programs on their 2011 tax returns. It outlines how to transfer information from a T5013A tax slip onto a T1 tax return and related schedules. Key items include reporting partnership income in Box 22 of the T5013A on Schedule 4, interest income in Box 50 on Schedule 4, and exploration and development expenses in Boxes 90 and 91 of the T5013A on Form T1229 to calculate eligible deductions. Carryforward amounts from prior years and multiple investments are factors to consider when claiming resource deductions.
