I've always reported the TFSA income on my US return just like other interest income on "normal" CAD savings vehicles. Am I supposed to be reporting it differently?

Let's take this example: 2007 through 2009 - Recognize $5K Form 8891 income on US return that [i]could [/i]have been deferred.

I'm not deferring losses because my US taxable income today is much less than it will be once I retire. I currently get the foreign earned income credit, but will lose that at retirement. I've only had taxable US income for the few years where the FX rate has caused "excess" US income.

Am I correct that my losses should also have transferred? (My loss was much less than my gain.)

Thanks!
