Enter the income as Canadian Registered Pension Income in the "Wages and Income" section using the "Retirement and Social Security" dropdown. The distribution is taxable.
Next use the "Deductions and Credits" tab and find the "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" dropdown. There you can find the "Foreign Tax Credit (FTC)" topic to enter the Canadian withholding amount. Categorize the income as "General Income" in the FTC topic.
NOTE: Be sure to convert to US dollars. If the distribution was on a specific date, use a calculator like the one here. If the distribution was spread throughout the year, you can use the "Yearly Average" converter here.
