Why does the maximum pension income for splitting decrease when I enter a RRSP contribution?

[earmstrong242]

Eligible pension income is $18K. Split is $9K before entering RRSP contribution of $8K, then $6K after entering it.

Found the problem. $8K of T4RIF amount was marked as “transferred to RRSP”. Changed that to “withdrawal payment”.

Yes that would cause that to happen. Happy you found it.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
