Error code 212

You'll see the following error message in H&R Block’s 2020 tax software if the total or the amounts you entered for your RRSP, SPP, and PRPP contributions is lower than the amount of either your Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) or Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) repayments:

The amount you’re designating as your repayment under the HBP or LLP can’t be more than ${1}, the total amount of your RRSP, SPP, and PRPP contributions. Make sure you entered the correct amount for your repayment. [error code: 212]

 

How do I fix this?

Enter an amount for your HBP or LLP repayment that is less than your total RRSP, SPP, and PRPP contributions. Your RRSP and SPP contributions are entered on the RRSP contributions and HBP or LLP repayments page. Your PRPP contributions are on the PRPP/VRSP contributions page.

Note: You can find both the RRSP contributions and HBP or LLP repayments and the PRPP/VRSP contributions pages under the SMART SEARCH icon on the QUICK ENTRY tab. Type RRSP contribution receipt and/or PRPP contribution receipt in the search field and either click the highlighted selection or press Enter to continue.
