If you've contributed more to your RRSP than your deduction limit allows, you may need to file a T1-OVP form. Here's how to handle this situation:

Determine if you need to file T1-OVP

1. Review your RRSP contribution limit on your latest Notice of Assessment
2. Compare it to your total RRSP contributions for the year
3. Check the CRA website to confirm if you need to file T1-OVP

Gather necessary documents

• RRSP, PRPP, and SPP statements
• Notices from financial institutions about excess contributions
• Your Schedule 7 from Wealthsimple Tax (if applicable)

Complete the T1-OVP form

1. Download the T1-OVP form from the CRA website
2. Calculate your excess contributions
3. Fill out the form with your personal information and contribution details

Submit your T1-OVP

1. Review your completed form for accuracy
2. Submit by mail or through your CRA My Account
3. Pay any taxes owing promptly to avoid interest charges

After submission

• Keep all documents and receipts for at least six years
• The CRA will calculate any tax or penalties based on your T1-OVP

Avoid future over-contributions

• Monitor your RRSP contribution room closely
• Consider setting up contribution alerts with your financial institution
