RRSP Form 8891 question 9

AZKira · Post by **AZKira** » Sat Feb 06, 2010 4:28 am

I'm Canadian, living in the U.S. (Green Card). I converted my RRSP from mutual funds to term deposits (closed one plan and opened another).

For form 8891 for the new plan - question 9 - contributions to the plan during the year - is it 0 because I didn't add any new money, or is it the value that I moved from the old plan to the new one?

If you are deferring taxation by using the treat (most people do), you do not answer this question.

I'm not deferring taxation so I do need to answer this question.

How do I answer question 9? 0 or the amount that was transferred from the one plan to the other?

You do not answer the question.
