In my income summary I see an amount has been added for pension income. I haven't entered any pension income, only a single T4. Why is that there?

The pension adjustment (PA) amount is the value of the benefits you earned in 2022 under your employer's registered pension plans (RPP) and deferred profit sharing plans (DPSP), and possibly some unregistered retirement plans or arrangements. The amount is shown in box 52 of your T4 slip or box 034 of your T4A slip.

Pension income can come from sources other than a separate pension plan. For example, if you received retirement benefits from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), or other government programs, these amounts may be reported as pension income on your tax return.

It's also possible that the pension income amount was entered automatically by TurboTax based on the information provided in your T4 slip. Some T4 slips include an amount for a Registered Pension Plan (RPP) or a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), which would be considered pension income for tax purposes.

For more information, refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): Line 20600 – Pension adjustment
