Reporting RRSP contributions

You are required to include one record for every contributor and for every plan. Where a contributor makes 10 different contributions to the same RRSP, you would send the CRA one record reporting the total amount of the contributions made by that contributor to that RRSP. If the contributor made contributions to more than one RRSP, you would send us a separate record for each RRSP.

Each record must provide a breakdown of the total contributions made during the contribution year.

Beginning January 1, 2010, filers must use their Business Number instead of their Filer Identification Number. For more information, see Converting the Filer Identification Number to the Business Number.
