My RRSP is held with a broker. The account has both cash and securities.
I have been reporting my total portfolio value in US dollars at the end of the year on Form 8891. I live in CA so I will be taxed on RRSP earnings (interest, dividends, and capital gains). How are unrealized capital gains and losses treated?
Am I correct in reporting the total portfolio value on Form 8891 or should I be reporting the cash balance where interest, dividends, and capital gains are paid into?
Thanks

For, cali, you simply treat the account like any other investment account, so all the periodic dividends, etc and any cap gains/llosses from sales are reported to cali (not to IRS).
On 8891, you simply show the year-end value of that RRSP.

Good question. You don't. The trouble is that all the other 49 states will take the fed value.
Besides, just because you paid cali tax in one year, why would the other states have to honor it in some future year.
