TSX is getting close to 10,000 again, and yet MOA lingers in the low 20s.......ouch!!!

BJ what are the rules on TFSA?It's max 5K but per year or forever? If you put in 5K and build it to 15, your gains are tax free but then what?What if it drops to 1K, can you top it up? ie as long as you are only putting in to a max of 5K, it's tax free? Haven't done it yet but it seems like a small no-brainer

Your bang on RetiringYoung.....Max you can contribute per year is 5K, and right now is ongoing until the Government changes the rules again.If it builds to 15K, no biggy.....it's yours and it's tax free.If it goes down to $1,000, you cannot top it up as you've already put in your 5K for the year.Hope that helps.BJ
