I thought you could keep everything in calendar year if you wanted to but then what would you do in this situation?

 

1) I contributed to my personal RRSP in the first 60 days of 2022 but did not count that for my 2021 tax return. I wanted to keep that for my 2022 tax return.

 

2) I participate in a company RRSP where I get a match as well. Obviously you contribute to that evenly throughout the year but that can change based on %s and your wage amount. However, I have never received two T4s from my employer showing RRSP contributions first 60 days vs. rest of the year. Maybe this is done by the provider but haven't seen that. In this case do I need my payroll to break it out?

Based on this all i wanted to do was literally report any 2022 contributions on my 2022 tax return but it sounds like I cannot? If I cannot, what do i do, restate my 2021 tax return to include the contributions made in the first 60 days of 2022 from any and all RRSPs including matches?

 

Thanks in advance.
