Curmudgeon got a reaction from EdwardFranklin in Contributions made in the first 60 days of the year can be used towards the previous year’s or current year’s contribution amount?
What if I went over my RRSP deduction limit?
If you contribute more than $2,000 over your deduction limit, you'll have to pay a tax of 1% per month on the amount you over contributed.
You have 90 days after the end of the year to submit the T1-OVP 2022 Individual Tax Return for RRSP, PRPP and SPP Excess Contributions form to the CRA. You’ll use this form to calculate your penalty tax.
You can lower the penalty tax by withdrawing the over-contribution from your bank account and returning it to your RRSP as soon as possible.
If you want your bank to refund your over-contribution without charging the regular tax on RRSP withdrawals, you’ll need to ask the CRA to certify the over-contribution amount by filing a T3012A form right away. It might take some time, so if you don’t want to wait for a T3012A form to be approved by the CRA (which might be the case if the penalty tax is adding up) and if you don’t mind having tax withheld, you can make a regular withdrawal from your RRSP instead.
Although you’ll need to report the amount you took from your RRSP as income when you file your return, you can claim an offsetting deduction so your over-contribution doesn’t raise your taxable income for the year. For example, if the rest of your taxable income this year is $50,000, and your bank refunded $10,000 of an over-contribution to your RRSP, your total taxable income without an offsetting deduction will be $60,000. However, if you claim an offsetting deduction for your over-contribution, this will bring your taxable income back down to $50,000.
You can claim an offsetting deduction by submitting the T746 form when you file, as long as:
You reasonably expected to claim a deduction for the contribution, either in the year you made the contribution or the year before; and You didn’t make the contribution with the plan to withdraw it later and deduct the offset amount. https://www.hrblock.ca/blog/how-it-works-rrsps-the-first-60-days-and-more/#first60

Curmudgeon got a reaction from JohnA in T1135 - can I add as many lines as I need in Section 7?
If the shares are "held in an account with a Canadian registered securities dealer", the individual companies don't have to be listed, only aggregate amounts for the top three countries.

The dependent child age is up to 18 years. Once the child is older than 18, you may be able to claim them if they have a mental or physical infirmity.

You have to do a new return for her. Can't delete the family head from a Ufile return.

Curmudgeon got a reaction from JohnA in Pension Income Splitting
In Interview setup, go to Pension and click the blue arrow. Pick split pension income. Set up what you want there. Before doing this, however, calculate the total tax payable by yourself and spouse with MaxBack. Do the same after setting what you want. I think you'll find that the total tax burden is less with MaxBack.

Curmudgeon got a reaction from JohnA in Ufile not allowing electronic submisison for a deceased person Year of Death 2021 Tax year 2021
I believe you are both right. The final return now can be E-filed but E-filing is done by a tax preparation business. Ufile and similar software Netfile and we can't yet netfile a final return. Will have to paper file.

You claim the examination fees as a tuition expense on T2202. The fees have to be $100 or more but GST/HST paid can be included in the fees.

If nothing works, contact the technical people and explain how expiring credits are not being applied first. There may be a quick fix.
