You have $1 million saved for retirement, but nothing in your TFSA. Is that actually a problem? The answer depends less on the size of your net worth and more on where that money is held. In this video, I explain when an empty TFSA can create a meaningful retirement tax-planning gap and when it may simply represent unused opportunity. You'll learn: Why $1 million in an RRSP is different from $1 million in other assets How RRSP and RRIF withdrawals can increase taxable income Why large registered balances can affect the OAS recovery tax Why TFSA withdrawals don't increase taxable income How unused TFSA contribution room carries forward Why filling your TFSA immediately isn't always the best move How RRSP and non-registered withdrawals are taxed differently Why the source of a TFSA contribution matters How lower-income retirement years can create planning opportunities How eligible RRIF income splitting may help couples Why sequencing can matter more than simply maximizing contributions An empty TFSA beside a large portfolio isn't automatically a financial emergency. The key is understanding where your wealth sits, what tax applies when you access it, and how to move money into your TFSA without creating a larger tax problem in the process.
