Are you trying to do a RLIF transfer to RRSP? If so, enter the T4RIF. Then enter the RRSP contribution, making sure to enter the transferred amount in the box "Is this RRSP contribution a designated transfer of eligible income amount? If so, enter the amount that is a designated transfer". And that should do the transfer.

I also did a transfer from LIF to RRSP, but my issue is in 2024 I did the transfer in Feb 2024. So last year I had to put the RRSP contributions in as a carryforward. So now I have a carryforward and a T4RIF but turbotax online Premium does not recognize my eligible transfer even though I keyed in the transfer amount. It is just allowing me to deduct up to my contribution limit, therefore I owe apparently alot of money. This is not how it is suppose to work. How do I get turbotax to recognize the eligible transfer?
