As the CRA considers you to have received an amount from the plan in the year it was deregistered. If you have received a withdrawal from your RRSP, RRIF, or SPP and your spouse or common-law partner made contributions to that plan in the year of withdrawal or in the two preceding years, you will need to complete Form 2205. 
This form helps determine how much of the withdrawal must be included in income for tax purposes for both partners.
You only need Form 2205 if income tax was actually withheld on your RRIF (RIF) withdrawals.
