If you have un-deducted RRSP contributions from previous years you can enter them in TurboTax Online this way: 

  1. Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the top right.
  2. In the Find window, type in “RRSP”. Select “RRSP profile” from the list and then click Go.
  3. Select the checkbox for Have unused RRSP/PRPP contributions from prior years and then click Continue.
  4. Click Continue until you reach the Unused RRSP/PRPP Contributions step
    • If there's an amount displayed and the amount is correct, answer No to the question Do you want to change this amount?, and then select Continue.
    • If the amount isn't correct, answer Yes to the question Do you want to change this amount?, and enter your amount before selecting Continue.
  5. On the RRSP Contribution Summary step, select Done With RRSPs.
  6. On the RRSP/PRPP and SPP Carry Forward step, TurboTax shows you the total value of available contributions and your deduction limit. To deduct from available contributions, enter the amount you’d like to deduct and then select Continue.

Thanks for the reply. I called CRA and it was a CRA data error. The unused contribution from the year in question was wrong in their database. Once this was corrected my return efiled with no errors.
