TFSA FACT: You never lose your TFSA contribution room!
What does this mean?....That means, if you are unable to maximize your contribution in a particular year, you could make up those contributions later.
Also, if you choose to withdraw funds for any purpose, the amount you withdraw gets added to the next year’s contribution room.
You can even recontribute amounts you have withdrawn in previous years and your contribution room carries forward indefinitely.
Your TFSA withdrawals are not taxed.
TFSA accounts started in 2009.
This handy chart displays the allowable amounts that the government granted us each year since the start of TFSAs:
TFSA Contribution Room
2009 to 2012 $5,000
2013 to 2014 $5,500
2015 $10,000
2016 to 2018 $5,500
2019 to 2022 $6,000
2023 $ 6,500
2024 $ 7,000
