Withdraw funds from RRSP

Post by pdfc »

I have withdrawn $5000 from my RRSP last year and paid the tax to Canada. I have been a resident in Canada for 45 years and am still an American citizen. My only home is in Canada. On the 8891 form am I the beneficiary or the annuitant? I have elected to defer taxes under the treaty.
