    Hello, What if a person bought a 2nd home (cottage) in 1972 for personal use and then sold their principle home in 1993 and moved to the cottage fulltime as the principle home until it was sold in 2020.

    I'm a Canadian citizen with all my money in the US stock market and was wondering if I would be taxed if I was out of the country traveling around for over a year. Or do I absolutely need to get residency in another country before I don't have to file a tax return in Canada? No income would be...

    Hi forum, I have the following T5008 forms: - For 2018, showing $1500 loss; - For 2019, sowing $1000 gain. I did not declare my T5008 last year, because it was showing a loss. My main question is, can I declare both T5008 now (for tax declaration of 2019) so that in total a loss of $500 is...

    I am wondering how to account for foreign exchange fluctuations when converting USD to CAD. I have money in a USD from when I worked in the US several years ago. At the time, the USD was not as strong and I paid Canadian and US income taxes on the income. Since then, the money has sat in a...

    I want to know, out of curiosity, is it true that, unless one plans to retire less than 20 years after entering the job market, it is always a bad idea to have an RRSP for tax purposes if you save the vast majority of after tax income? That is, it is bad even if your income is > $220, 000? Let...

    Hi everyone, I currently have some savings in my Swiss bank account that I`d like to invest with a robo-advisor (like wealthsimple). I figured that this would be a good investing option for now, because I: a.) will get a better return on my investment with wealthsimple than with my bank, and...

    My google chi is failing me tonight. Maybe someone out there can help me on this one. I'm trying to determine the book value for shares distributed out of an estate to a beneficiary. When a person dies, any shares held in a cash account, are considered sold as of the date of death (deemed...
