IRS Treatment of RRSP Home Buyers' Plan
Hello, my daughter is a US/Canadian dual citizen, and a resident of Canada. She and her husband are buying their first home in Canada. She has a modest amount of funds in her RRSP which she would like to use to help with the down payment. I have seen a post on this forum from about 15 years ago which stated that RRSP withdrawals for the purpose of the Home Buyers' Plan are not taxable by the IRS. Is that still the case? Thank you.

Correct, it is not taxable upon withdrawal for HBP purpose.
Any repayment which is NOT made, would be taxable in canada, and to some extent in US, depending on what portion of her RRSP is considered taxable (which is essentially the growth portion).
