The statement that is true about Marta’s situation is option D. A registered retirement income fund
(RRIF) is a type of registered account that provides income in retirement by converting savings from
an RRSP or other sources. A RRIF holder must withdraw a minimum amount from their RRIF each
year, starting from the year after they open their RRIF. The minimum amount is calculated based on a
percentage factor set by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the value of the RRIF at the
beginning of each year. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CRA has reduced the required
minimum withdrawals from RRIFs by 25% for 2020 and 2021. Therefore, Marta does not have to
withdraw the minimum amount this year if she chooses to take advantage of this temporary
measure. Therefore, option D is true about Marta’s situation. The other statements are not true
about Marta’s situation. Option A is false because she will not be able to continue contributing to her
RRIF and be subject to the same annual limits as her RRSP; rather, she will not be able to make any
further contributions to her RRIF once she converts her RRSP to a RRIF. Option B is false because she
will not incur a tax liability when she converts her RRSP to a RRIF; rather, she will only pay tax on the
amount that she withdraws from her RRIF each year. Option C is false because she will not be subject
to annual maximum withdrawal limits; rather, she will be able to withdraw any amount from her
RRIF as long as she meets the minimum withdrawal requirement. Reference: [Registered Retirement
