RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:analysisI don't recommend you take my word for it, and clearly you haven't, and that's good. The superficial loss rule was created to avoid abuse, and using a registered account to flip the shares into is an obvious abuse. But leaving a position in your TFSA ... or in your wife's TFSA ... that seems to be tagged by a rigid reading of the "affiliated" text in T4037. If I were to have this conversation with a tax accountant, I would ask for concrete examples of how CRA interprets this.
As for partial dispositions, the T4037 text is clear on not owning identical property at the end of 30 days. If there is another way to look at it, it's not something I've seen in CRA documents. Again, I'd want the tax accountant to show me the goods.

Juice004 wrote: This is simply not true. What you have in your TFSA and RRSP's has nothing to do with your unregistered accounts for the purpose of claiming capital gains or losses. Once you take a realized loss you can apply against realized gains and you don't need to exit the position in its entirety let alone from all accounts.

You will need to sell All stock for 30 days to claim cap loss, This as far as i see includes what you have in TFSA & RRSP
Please correct me ( nicely ) if im wrong
Thanks
