DO THIS To Avoid The RRSP Tax TRAP
Listen on:
In this episode of the AskTMFG Podcast, Carlo Cansino breaks down how to avoid the RRSP tax trap for Canadians approaching retirement with large registered balances. Using a $1.7 million RRSP client as an example, he walks through the key questions that shape a smart withdrawal strategy, account consolidation, spousal income splitting, other assets, retirement income needs, CPP/OAS timing, TFSA room, and current versus future tax brackets, then lays out the actual plan: drawing down RRSPs early while in a lower bracket, redirecting some withdrawals into TFSAs, and timing government benefits to avoid clawbacks.

Question for our listeners: Do you have a withdrawal order mapped out for your RRSPs, or are you planning to figure it out at 71?
