I am a US resident retired and making periodic and lump sum withdrawals from my RIF and LIF and subject to a 15 % tax witholding by CDN government upon withdrawal. I do not file CDN tax returns.

CPA/CA=FLORIDA

Any recommendations for A CPA in the Orlando area who is familiar with US tax reporting requirements for CDN sourced income.
File US returns only, but income primarily CDN based, i.e. O/A, Pension Plan and RIF and LIF withdrawals.
US/CDN citizen residing in US.
Thank you

Re: RIF withdrawals, US taxability

Nelsona, I have read your responses and personally understand the tax treatment of deferring the taxability of RIF withdrawals because of your initial capital investment,i.e. not all RIF withdrawals are fully taxable.. However , is there a specific section in the US/CDN tax treaty that spells that o...

Re: LIF/ 50% one time withdrawal

Nelsona, I am talking about a one time transfer tax -free from a LIF to a RIF of 505 of LIF to reduce the amount restricted in the LIF.

Does that make sense?

THANKS AGAIN<

Re: LIF/ 50% one time withdrawal

Nelsona, Thank you, Apparently I can apply to financial institution for a one -time TRANSFER to my RRIF from my LIF since I am a
US resident and no longer pay tax in Canada. Is that transfer tax free?
I already maxed out my 15% withdrawals.
Thank you

Nelsona, thank you again

you advise I can withdraw up to the higher of 10% of 1/1 balance or twice the minimum to maintain 15%withholding.

Is there a difference if between a LIF or a RRIF ?

Is there a maximum of a RRIF or LIF that can be withdrawn and at what tax rate if I chose to c collapse them?
Thank you
