I withdrew my RRSP. After following the steps above, TurboTax asks me for
1. Total distribution
2. Taxable part of distribution

My RRSP provider withheld non-resident taxes (box 17 on NR4)

Is the answer to question 2 $0?
Or do I insert the distribution here and also apply for a foreign tax credit in deductions & credits.

Thanks in advance!
