I have been filing taxes through Turbotax last few years. And now realized that I unknowingly exceeded RRSP contributions in 2019 and 2020. How do I rectify this?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

As per CRA: If you wish to cancel or waive the tax on your excess contributions:

You can ask the CRA in writing to consider canceling or waiving the tax if the following two conditions are met:

  • your excess contributions on which the tax is based arose due to a reasonable error.
  • you are taking, or have taken, reasonable steps to eliminate the excess contributions.

Include the following with your letter:

  • why you made excess contributions and why this is a reasonable error.
  • any other correspondence that shows that your excess contributions are due to a reasonable error.
