Hey guys, sorry for yet ANOTHER fe-ck-ing tax question, i did have a search for this but couldn't find a definitive answer (too many results for the search terms)
Been an Alberta Resident since August 1 2012, so have filled out all the parts in Studio Tax accordingly.
When i go through the forms it has printed off for me, it doesn't seem to include the AB428 form, which has different numbers on it than the rest (refunds, allowances etc)
does this all get lumped together with the federal forms, or do I send this one separate and that's why it hasn't printed?
Also, during my searching, I was reading about RRSP/CPP (are they the same thing?) contributions/overpayments and how you shouldn't be contributing to an RRSP in your first year as they base it on the last tax return you submitted (or something?).
My T4 form says I have contributed $XXXX.xx (less than $2000, which i saw mentioned), so have my employers done something wrong by setting up this deduction?
Apologies if these questions sound n00by, but once i've got them ironed out, i can file my forms and get my refund (yay!)

answered my first question!
the software condenses the return and the figures are at the top of the 3rd page...i was looking at the two forms separately and adding the "refunds" together...then when i looked at the final calculation, it was way off!
