What is a spousal RRIF?

When a spousal RRSP is converted to a RRIF, it becomes a spousal RRIF. Since the account holder is not the person who contributed to the spousal RRSP, withdrawals will be made by the account annuitant.

As with a regular RRSP, contributions to a spousal plan continue until the end of the year in which the contributing spouse turns 71.

Keep in mind that if a spouse contributes to a spousal RRSP during the year it is converted to a RRIF or either of the two preceding years, they may have income attributed to them if the annuitant withdraws more than the minimum annual withdrawal for that year.
