Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP/VRSP)
Generally, there are four different types of RRSP information. The first type indicates how much a taxpayer can contribute to a RRSP. There is the eligible contribution amount for the current year, calculated in reference to earned income for the previous year, and there is the uncontributed eligible amounts from previous years (amounts never contributed to an RRSP), known as RRSP room. These amounts are entered with Elig-Room. See that keyword for details. The second type of information tells the user how much the taxpayer did or did not contribute. Undeducted RRSP contribution premiums from previous years or from the first sixty days of the current taxation year are entered with Undeducted-Contr. See that keyword for details. The third type of RRSP information is for taxpayers who have contributed to the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan (HBP). See RRSP-Home for more details.
