Retirement tax questions
No, you do not declare the social security benefits on both returns. The IRS Publication 915 as well as the one shown below confirm it. U.S. social security benefits paid to a resident of Canada are taxed in Canada as if they were benefits under the Canada Pension Plan, except that 15% of the amount of the benefit is exempt from Canadian tax.
You would not include your US Social Security benefits on a US federal tax return when those benefits are being reported on the Canadian tax return.
