Transfer from one retirement annuity fund to another - how to handle on efiling?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

During the 2013/2014 tax year I moved a retirement annuity from one fund to another. As part of this process the accumulated value in the "old" RA was paid over as a lump sum into the "new" RA.

As a result, the "old" fund issued me with an IT3a for the lump sum payout. This IT3a used code 3920 for the lump sum payout, with an additional code 4 indicating it is a tax exempt lump sum payment (there is also a tax directive number on the IT3a).

How do I handle this on eFiling when completing my income tax return?...
