Contributions to your RRSP you can deduct for 2019

For 2019, you can deduct contributions you made to your RRSP or SPP between January 1, 1991 and the first sixty (60) days of 2020.

Furthermore, you can also deduct contributions you made to your PRPP between January 1, 2019, and the first sixty (60) days of 2020 (do not include your employer's contributions). You can deduct these contributions if you did not deduct them for any other year, and if they do not exceed your RRSP deduction limit for 2019.

However, if you forgot to include your contributions from the first sixty (60) days from last year, you must request an adjustment of your tax return.

To do so, please follow these steps:

1. In the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select "Interview setup".

2. On the page that appears to the right, go to the "Othetopics" group, check the box for "Adjustment request for a tax return that has been filed" and click "Next" at the bottom of the page.

3. Return to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", and select "Adjustment request" at the bottom of the list and, on the right-hand side of the screen, select the form that you need, either the ''T1-ADJ adjust a federal tax return for 2018 or a previous year'' or for Quebec residents the ''TP-1.R adjust a Quebec tax return for 2019 or a previous year''

NOTE: You cannot submit an adjustment request form electronically via NETFILE. You must print and mail the T1-ADJ and/or the TP-1.R, as well as copies of all relevant documentation justifying the adjustment.

If you wish, you can also visit the CRA website and go to the section "My Account" to correct your tax return.
