You can deduct these contributions if you did not deduct them for any other year and if they are not more than your RRSP deduction limit for 2014.

If you can no longer contribute to your RRSPs in 2014 because of your age (the year after you turn 69; beginning in 2014, under proposed legislation, the year after you turn 71) you can still deduct the contributions you made in a previous year, up to your RRSP deduction limit.

You will record your repayments on Schedule 7, which you will file with your tax return.

Please note that generally, amounts you transfer directly to your RRSP do not affect your RRSP deduction limit. However, you may need to include an amount in income and claim an offsetting deduction.
