Canadian RPP Contributions while in the US

Post by JPinDC »

Simple question, complicated situation and I don't see a clear answer here in the forum.
I work for a Canadian company but am posted in the US - and am exclusively a US taxpayer/resident at this point.
I'm still making optional contributions to my employer's registered pension plan back in Canada. My employer has been deducting these from my pay as POST-tax, not PRE -- is that a mistake? From what I have read it seems like RPP contributions should be covered under the tax treaty and that these contributions should be excluded from my taxable income? Any guidance appreciated.
