Thanks again.

A couple of other questions:

If I sold a non-primary residence property in Canada and there was a capital gain then I've heard that CPP will stop payments if that capital gain does not have a capital loss that could lower the 'income' from it below a certain threshold.

1. Is this also the case for ...

Thanks again.

This looks good as I have over 20 years paid in to the US so, hopefully, the amount of the WEP 'penalty' will not be too much.
But if I understand correctly, the only thing that WEP is applied to is CPP so even 35% of just north of $100 CDN a month is not too damaging.

One other question that ...

Oh and I'm now a Canadian resident and not working in the US.

I would like to start taking US Social Security and Canadian CPP now-ish if practical. I'm 62 years old.
For CCA, I have the needed number of credits and would get a payment something like: $1500 US / month.
For CPP, it's a small amount and would be something like: $120 CDN / month.

I've looked ...

Thanks Nelson.

I am a CDN citizen / resident. Moved back from US last year, from many years working in the US as TN. I have a large-ish IRA in US. Once I'm past 59 1/2, If I wanted to 'move' money from my US IRA to my CDN RRSP, but with using capital gain on a rental property would this be okay?

For example, if I ...

I'm a Canadian citizen / US resident. This is a question for once I return to Canada and become a CDN resident / US non-resident.

I understand that withdrawals from an IRA, after aged 59 1/2 would not be penalized 10% for early withdrawal
I also understand that the institution could withhold 15% or ...

As a Canadian / US resident, I've researched what to do with my IRA before returning to Canada and becoming US non-resident on this forum.
One option mentioned is to convert some of your IRA to a Roth-IRA first, then become NR of US and go from there.
However, if I look at the rules when creating a ...

At the end of 2014, since I had depreciated my car in my LLC over 5 years, and had no depreciation left, I bought the car myself for the FMV.

In 2015, I used this same car for business and pleasure use.

The 2015 tax forms have to show the car I'm using to write off the expenses on it (but no ...
