T1229: Statement of Resource Expenses and Depletion Allowance
Form T1229 is used to claim the depletion allowance and to calculate your resource expenditure pools, exploration and development expense deduction, and the renounced expenses you received from owning flow-through shares that qualify for investment tax credits.
Based on the type of your investment you’ll receive a T5, T101, or T5013 slip from the administrator of the venture. H&R Block’s tax software will automatically use the information you enter on the T5, T101, or T5013 page(s) to complete your T1229 form.
Note: Depending on where you live, you might also be able to claim one of the following provincial credits:
- British Columbia Mining Flow-through Share Tax Credit
- British Columbia Mining Exploration Tax Credit
- Manitoba Mineral Exploration Tax Credit
- Ontario Focused Flow-through Share Tax Credit
- Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration Tax Credit
