RRSP Contribution - over Limit

Hi, I have contributed 15000 to RRSP last February 2021 which I found out recently is 10000 over the limit.

I could not transfer 10000 out of my RRSP account back to Savings Account.

Would it work if I don’t claim my Feb. 2021 RRSP contribution for the 2020 Tax Year and carry it forward for 2021 Tax Year? Thanks.

RRSP Contribution - over Limit

ThankYou for choosing TurboTax.

No, unfortunately, you can not carry forward your RRSP over-contribution to the next Tax year as you made the contribution in February 2021.

This form is to be used by individuals who have overcontributed to a registered retirement saving plan (RRSP) in a given year. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/t1-ovp.html.
