We often find that the biggest misunderstanding with a TFSA deals with withdrawals and contribution room. Let's illustrate this through an example:
As of 2020 you have never used any of your contribution room and are 45 years old. This means your contribution limit for the year was $69,500, so you make that full contribution and you have now maxed out your TFSA.
By year end, your investment has grown nicely and the value of your TFSA sits at $75,000. However, due to an emergency late in the year, you need to redeem all $75,000...so how much TFSA room do you have now?
For the rest of 2020 you have $0 in contribution room. However, on January 1, 2021, you would have $81,000 in contribution room.
This $81,000 is comprised of the $75,000 that you withdrew in 2020 plus $6,000 of new contribution room...the new annual limit per the CRA.
It's important to understand that 2021's contribution room is related to the money you withdrew ($75,000) not the $69,5000 that you originally contributed.
What if your $69,500 contribution dropped in value to $65,000 in late 2020 when you were needing the money? What would the contribution room be then?
For the rest of 2020 you would still have $0 in contribution room. The change comes on January 1, 2021, where you would have $71,000 in contribution room compared to $81,000 in the first scenario.
This $71,000 is comprised of the $65,000 you withdrew plus the $6,000 in new contribution room.
The lesson from this scenario is if you redeem from your TFSA when it’s at a loss, that TFSA room is permanently lost.
This is a big deal...similar to an RRSP, we only have so much contribution room. The good thing with a TFSA is you are able to earn back the contribution room the following year depending on your investment growth, but any losses are gone forever.
Before you go redeeming money from your TFSA or treat your TFSA like a bank account, consider the contribution room effect of your actions.

I was confused about the contribution room you get back in the next calendar year until I saw your video. Thank you. But just want to discuss an interesting case someone post online, for example, a perosn contributed the maxmium room he has in TFSA, and his account increased to 1 million, if he pull out this 1 million in 2021, he will get 1 million contribution room + annual room for 2022 in the calender year 2022, this is how I think tfsa should work. May I ask has CRA explained or provided any confirmation related to this?

@ParallelWealth 3 года назад

Emily, yes he/she would have $1M in contribution room the following calendar year plus new $6k room or whatever the amount is for that year.

@hildabaumhard9c106 2 года назад

Hey Adam, still confused about tfsa limits. Say I have 150k in my account. End on Dec I withdraw all of it, and Jan first I return it, plus the new 6k, totalling 156k. How does this new high water mark benefit me? If I withdraw 50k in 2022, and my value drops 20k, come 2023 I will still only be able to return the 50k plus the 2023 new amount (say 6k). What has the 156k high water mark benefited me?

@mikelolguy Год назад

Awesome video! Questoion: I have three TFSA accounts; Tangerine, WealthSimple and TD Bank. I put an initial depost of $5.000, the second $15,500 and the last TBD. I have a remaining contribution room of $30,000 in 2022. I am looking to maximize my TFSA to have a bigger contribution room for next year, 2023. So, for TD Bank I want to deposit $30,000 by end of November and sell the $30,000 by end of December. Hence, would this mean I would have a new contribution room of 2023 of $60,500? Thank you!!

@anandvardhan1385 2 года назад

@parallel wealth: Hi last year I saw my contribution room $34000. Till December I added $21700 in my TFSA and I was 40% down which was approx $13020. Therefore my new contribution room should be $25320 + 6000 was new year from January right? But it shows $19000 this year? Do you think why it is that? I did not take out any money yet.

@bbbella2960 Год назад

How do you withdraw from your TFSA? If I withdraw 88k, when does it need to be paid back by before penalties? My cra account shows 88k, I read online that you should be able to withdraw from online banking from overview tab and click on TFSA tab but I don't have the option on my online banking.

@mayurjadhav8073 Год назад

Does selling with capital gains and buying stock in TFSA affects contribution limits? For example, if I invest 1000 dollars initially (considering its my tfsa limit) and now i have 1500 in tfsa and i sell all the stocks and buy new stocks. So now my contribution is 1500 or is it still 1000 ?

@Hamiltron14 8 месяцев назад

Does transferring money from tfsa to. Chequeing or regular savings account count as a withdrawal? Would I still get that amount back on my tfsa the following year?

@JC-et4vz 9 месяцев назад

I have a question. Do you lose that $75,000 (withdrew in 2020) contribution room for 2022? if you don't put any money back into TFSA in 2021? or is it the permanent contribution room once you withdraw? Thanks in advance

@therealsparkman 8 месяцев назад

I maximized my TFSA contribution in early 2022 when I received some money from my mother's estate following her passing in late 2021. I wasn't sure what exactly to do with it, so I opted to put it into the TFSA. That was a mistake. Since then, it has dropped $15K in value. While I think that a TFSA is a good idea with the ideology, I'm not convinced that the value of it hinges on the markets, so it can be hit or miss. Looking back, I should have thought it through a bit more before opting for this idea.

@wassaapRA 2 года назад

Thanks for explaining it so well! A doubt I have that is when I withdraw the 75k, do I need to pay tax on the gains I made? I'm assuming no because this is a Tax free account.

@ParallelWealth 2 года назад

Correct. No tax

@gregskuza7166 2 года назад

Hi , I just invested in tfsa but I noticed because of the war in Ukraine I noticed loosing money like crazy every day and a lot. Do you think that the tfsa is a good solution at this moment and will it recover or the war and huge raises in fuel costs and the whole situation with sanctions to Russia will only make it drop even more so should I take it out now and just take the loss before it will get worst? I should add that this multi-holding TFSA account.

Ive watched many of these videos but no one talks about 2 calendar years lets just say i have a maxed out contribution and withdrawn all just for argument sake 200k the next calendar year you can re put the 200k plus the government tfsa increase but what happens if you had med bills or something and cant re put the 200k till the next next year do you lose out of contribution?

@Happygolucky336 3 года назад

Will CRA has annual statement that we can see the TFSA limit contribution room for next year? Or if the bank will have the records to tell us what is the contribution limit? Thanks

@ParallelWealth 3 года назад

CRA online will tell you, but it's not always accurate. If you check now it won't show any 2021 contributions and it might even be missing 2020. But if you have your 2020 and 2021 numbers you could cross reference what CRA has and come up with your number.

@davek2193 2 года назад

I appreciate the video! Such great content! Wondering one thing though. If you have stocks in your TFSA that you sell at a loss, but don't take the funds out of the TFSA, It's not a loss yet, correct? So you could potentially reinvest them for a gain, then take them out?

@ParallelWealth 2 года назад

Correct. It really is a moot point whether you redeem or not (other than not being able to invest that money until Jan1 the following year). If you lose money on a stock and sell it, you now have a set number of dollars to invest, whether you leave it or not. Hope that makes sense.

@LMac1985 2 года назад

Hi! Thanks for the informative video! I contributed $17,000 to my TFSA I have growth of $26,000 in my TFSA I removed $1000 to open my daughter an RESP. Does the $1000 withdrawal come out of my contribution room or did it come out as growth? Also I’m 36 years old. Can you help me to understand how the withdrawals work when my TFSA isn’t maxed out? Thanks Lesley

@ParallelWealth 2 года назад

It doesn't matter what it comes out as. What matters is that the $1000 is added as contribution room next year

So my wifes bank account holds all of our savings. Were looking to putting our savings into TFSA's with wealth simple. If i open an account under my name and information and use her bank account to transfer money into my TFSA and to buy stocks does this effect my contribution limit or hers?

@paulj3660 3 года назад

Ok so say if I was maxed out right now and had the full limit of 75500 in there , if I withdraw the whole amount of 75500 in December of this year I would be allowed to recontribute the whole 75500 in january of 2022 plus whatever contribution room for the next year

@ParallelWealth 3 года назад

Paul, yes this is correct. Assuming your investment is valued at exactly 75500 in December this year. If it was worth more or less, whatever amount you redeem is the amount added back the following calendar year, plus new contribution room. Thanks for watching.

@loucadufault6549 3 года назад

So after seeing a financial adviser to open a portfolio and savings account under a TFSA, they told me something along the lines of: "if you open the savings in the TFSA then the gains aren't taxed, but you crystallize that contribution room." They essentially said it was not worth it to take up room for such a low yield savings account. Do savings accounts function differently? If all the money I have available fits below my available contribution room (including the backlog from a few years), is there any downside to opening the savings account under the TFSA? Thanks. And the video was very informative btw.

@ParallelWealth 3 года назад

You can have your TFSA in savings - but having tax free money at 0.2%...does it really mater if it is tax free?! You can do it, just not the best strategy if you are looking longer term.

@loucadufault6549 3 года назад

@@ParallelWealth so just to be clear, the only way to crystallize your contribution room is to withdraw at a loss? And yes you are correct anyway I would open the savings account outside the TFSA as the benefit is miniscule

@jordonm24 7 месяцев назад

Looking for some confirmation. If a withdrawal has been made and the amount is applied to the following year contribution limits is there a countdown timer on when the funds need to be returned or is does the new limit continue to forward through the years?

If I don't contribute the full amount , does the difference carry over into the following year and increase my eligible contribution or does it revert to 6500.00 again.

Increases

@colinbickford6017 2 года назад

So if someone has never put in a TFSA and have a total of $70,000 room but only put in $5,000 and it grows to $10,000 and you pull out the $10,000, that $10,000 room wouldn’t come back until the next calendar year but you could put in still the current year $60,000? Then the $10,000 next year?

@brandonfleming7044 Год назад

Hi good sir! What happens if you have multiple different investments in your TFSA (say 10k worth) and let’s say, 2K investment shrunk to 300, you sell and pull it out.. how does that affect room? According to your estimates that would lose 1700 of room permanently BUT how is that figured out when you have multiple different investments? Just confused as to how that’s auto figured out when say that 300 you pull out is clearly a 1700 loss, but can they differentiate that from say a 20$ investment that grew to 300?

@ParallelWealth Год назад

You would have lost the $1700 from that investment - but there is a chance the others made up for it. Example - if you had another investment that had $300 that grew to $2k, then your account value and possible room would stay the same in your example.

@vanessadestilus2586 2 года назад

@avagill13 Год назад

This is actually insanely good news. I can boost my TFSA contribution room from say ~$60k to over $1million+ if I make good investments.

@airiishii8253 2 года назад

@airiishii8253 2 года назад
