How do I file RRSP Contributions made from Jan 1/18 to Mar 1/18 (previous years)?

How do I carry forward unused RRSP contribution amounts from previous years?

To report any contributions you may have missed from the First 60 Days of 2018, CRA requires you to report them on your 2017 tax return. You'll need to make an adjustment to the 2017 tax return. You can use "My Account" if you are set up, otherwise, you will need to print a paper copy and mail it to your tax centre.

If you use CRA's Auto-Fill service to import your tax slips, these contributions may be in CRA's records and downloaded to your return as a "carried forward contribution" which can be claimed on the current year tax return.
