regarding $2000, this is RRSP contribution exceeded amount limit that will not incur penalty,
for example, if on the NOA (Notice of Assessment) CRA indicates you have deduction limit for 2006 is $6,083, your max. non-penalty contribution is 6083+2000=8083, and your RRSP deduction from taxable income stays at 6083.
this part have been explained by Teddy.
regarding your RRSP limit $6083, here is how this figure comes from
it is the lesser of
(1)annual RRSP contribution amount published by CRA, for taxation year of 2005, is $16500, for taxation year of 2006 is $18000.
(2) 18% of your last year taxable income, for example $6083 is based on the figure whichever is less (1)RRSP limit $18000 (2)18% of your taxation year 2005 taxable income.
please note, if your employer has made Registered Pension Plan payment on your behalf, any this amount will be taken off from your $6083 limit. that is if your employer made payment of $1000, you may purchase RRSP for a max amount of 6083-1000=5083, which can be deducted from taxable income. of course, you might wish to contribute another $2000 without penalty, and non-deductible
if anything is inncorrect, please point out
