Beneficiary of RRSP from spouse's estate. I am entitled to an offsetting deduction for the qualifying transfer. How do I get Turbo tax to recognize this deduction?

Sorry for your loss. 

To report this in TurboTax you should receive two separate tax slips - a T4RSP showing the withdrawal amount, and an RRSP Contribution slip showing a "designated transfer". You must first enter both these slips as one usually would, then specify the amount that is a designated transfer. 

Here's some complete instructions for entering this transfer in TurboTax:
