Open TurboTax
To ensure this "rollover" is tax-free and doesn't use up your own RRSP contribution room, you need to report both the income and the offsetting deduction.
Since this is a spousal rollover, you should have two pieces of information: a T4RIF slip (reporting the income) and an RRSP contribution receipt (reporting the transfer).
Go to the Income section and select T4RIF - Statement of income from a Registered Retirement Income Fund.
Enter the amount from the slip (usually in Box 16 or Box 22).
Look for a question or checkbox that asks if this was received due to the death of a spouse. Selecting "Yes" ensures the income is eligible for the pension income amount (if you are 65+) and alerts the system that this is a rollover.
Go to the RRSP section and enter the official receipt from your bank as a new contribution.
In the "Description" or "Type of Contribution" field, look for a checkbox or dropdown labelled "Designated Transfer" or "Amount is a transfer from a RRIF due to death."
By marking it as a transfer, TurboTax will move the amount to Schedule 7 (Line 24640).




Hope this helps!
