I overcontributed to my RRSPs in 2016 by $5000. I withdrew them and the T4rsp that I received put the $5000 in box 22. How does my deduction limit get corrected?

Does the $5000 ever get credited back to my deduction limit?  The financial institution said that they never use box 20 for over contributions so I am out of luck.  I have also already paid income tax on the $5000 before contributing and now am getting charged $500 in tax again.

You will need to file a T1-Adjustment of your 2016 return along with the form T746. The latter outlines the conditions you need to meet in order for you to get a deduction for the $5K income.
