U.S. citizen living in Canada? If you’re considering opening a Tax-Free Savings Account, keep in mind: it may not be tax-free for you.

While TFSAs offer tax-free growth for Canadian residents, U.S. tax law does not recognize them as tax-advantaged accounts. Earnings may be taxable on your U.S. return, and depending on structure, some TFSAs can be classified as foreign trusts, triggering complex annual reporting requirements and potential penalties for non-compliance.

What appears straightforward in Canada becomes complicated when cross-border tax rules apply. Account selection decisions require understanding both jurisdictions' treatment before opening.

I work alongside your qualified tax or legal professional to help you evaluate savings account options that work within both tax systems.

Edward Jones, its employees and Edward Jones advisors are not estate planners and cannot provide tax or legal advice.

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.

A balanced family budget isn't about deprivation or cutting everything you enjoy. It's about creating a realistic plan that supports your goals and fits your life.

Start with clear, achievable goals. Build in flexibility for unexpected expenses, because life rarely goes exactly as planned. Review your budget regularly and adjust as your circumstances change. The families who succeed with budgeting are the ones who stay consistent, not perfect.

And remember, you don't have to figure this out alone. Working with an advisor means having someone who can help you review your current situation, refine your goals, and create a strategy that can help keep you on track.

If you're ready to create a budget that works for your family's goals, reach out. I'm here to help.
