US citizen using the HBP for a new house.

Post by MIKE2000Z28 »

Alright this year i bought a house and used $25,000 in RRSP for some of the down payment. So basically i took a distribution. I know i take what the initial RRSP was worth and take what it was worth at distribution time and use that figure. Lets say i put in 22,000 overall since 2006(my first year of RRSP reporting) and now i took out 25,000. So that where do i report that $3000 and how much tax do i have to pay on it?

This will be for next years return 2011, but i want to know ahead of time.

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
