Owning a property in the U.S. is a dream for many Canadians, especially as a winter escape. What’s often overlooked are the tax implications that can come with that decision.

U.S. property ownership can trigger obligations in both Canada and the U.S., including reporting requirements, withholding taxes, and potential estate tax exposure. In some cases, spending too much time in the U.S. can even create unexpected tax residency issues.

The good news is that many of these considerations can be managed with proper planning, but timing matters.

👉 Connect with me and I can help you understand the considerations and work alongside cross border tax professionals to support informed decisions.

One of the most common questions about Old Age Security (OAS) is when to start taking it. The standard age is 65, but you can delay until age 70. Each choice affects how much you receive.

Starting at 65 means you begin receiving income earlier. But if you delay, your monthly payments increase by 0.6% for each month you wait, up to a maximum 36% increase at age 70.

So which option is right for you? It depends on several factors unique to your situation. Your current tax rate matters. If you're still working or have other significant income, delaying might make sense. Your total income matters too, because OAS is subject to a clawback if your income exceeds certain thresholds.

If you're approaching 65 and wondering when to start your OAS, reach out. I can help you evaluate your options based on your personal circumstances.

Recent market volatility has been unsettling, but this moment can offer strategic opportunities.

Here are three opportunities to consider:

• Earn more income from bonds: Take advantage of today’s higher interest rates to potentially generate more income from fixed income investments.
• Use losses to reduce taxes: Apply investment losses to offset gains you’ve already realized, which can help lower your tax bill.
• Invest at better prices: Add to your long-term investment mix when markets offer more attractive entry points.

I work with clients to ensure their plans stay aligned with their long-term goals, emphasizing quality investments, diversification, and maintaining a long-term perspective.

Let's review your portfolio together and keep your financial strategy on track.
