When you file your income tax return, the spouse who "Contributed" (your husband) can claim the RRSP contributions as a tax deduction. The Contributor and the Annuitant should be indicated on our RRSP Contribution Slip.
Spousal RRSPs are treated the same as a regular RRSP contribution when purchased, with the purchaser's RRSP limit defining how much can be purchased and the purchaser also claiming the deduction on their tax return.
Here are links to some TurboTax articles that explain spousal RRSP contribution in more detail RRSPs and Your Tax Return: The Bottom Line and Contributing to Spousal RRSPs.
