You should check to see if you have an unused RRSP contribution that came from the AutoFill. You will need to enter the RRSP limit in order to claim it if one was imported.

If you imported your tax information from CRA using AutoFill, any RRSPs they have on file which you have not claimed as a deduction in prior years are imported to your tax return and deducted as an "Unused RRSP Contribution".

Did you import your information to your tax return with CRA's Autofill?

Thanks.  That may be the correct answer, but I'm a somewhat surprised since I made my last RRSP contribution 20 years ago. I ended up ignoring the error and filed my return a few days ago.
