Why are CPP and OAS separate from Income in some reports?

Different reports group the same cash flows at different levels. The detailed TimeTable can show entered income separately from calculated CPP/QPP, OAS and other public pensions. That Income column is not necessarily the household’s complete incoming-cash total.

Summary Cash Flow’s External income combines the relevant external sources, including public pensions. Account withdrawals are still separate. In the taxable-income breakdown, ordinary taxable income also has its own grouping, which is different from cash receipts.

To check a particular year, open its detailed report and add the pension lines to the other income lines once. Do not add CPP or OAS to INCOMES merely because a shorter column label appears to exclude them; that would duplicate benefits already calculated.
