Q: Hello,
I made a silly mistake this morning: I intended to sell all of my 200 shares of CAE in my non-registered account for a tax loss. However, I didn't double-check before submitting my order and ended up buying 200 more shares. Within minutes, I noticed my error and sold all 400 shares.
Do you have any insight into how this will impact my income tax return? Will I still be able to claim the tax loss on the initial 200 shares?
Thanks,
Rory

Q: I was assigned a stock on which i sold a put. When selling the put i clicked the box for uncovered put. In fact, though, i did have the shares to cover it. I would like to sell them now to claim a capital loss. But I am not sure where i sit in terms of that. I am getting a little muddled but i think I will have to wait 30 days. No?

Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF (VAB)
Q: Would you say selling VAB and buying HBB would be a superficial loss in CRA's eyes? Or are they different enough? They do track different benchmarks (by title, at least).
Q: I am an investor with a long-term view and have always oriented my investment decisions towards growth stocks. I'm retired and I'm starting to want to take less time and decision-making as I get older. I know you are not tax specialists but your answer will surely be enlightening.
I wonder what is the cheapest mode of taxable income between a capital gain and a dividend paid in a taxable account for a Canadian citizen earning less than $80,000 per year.
THANKS

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am interested in buying more U.S. stocks and have a non-registered U.S. dollar account as well as a TFSA account in Canadian dollars. Are there any concerns over buying U.S stocks in the TFSA account? eg. Are U.S. capital gains and dividends still tax exempt in a the TFSA. Any advice as to preferences re which account to use would be appreciated.

Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)
Q: Good morning,
I'm looking at buying an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 for my TFSA account and am considering VFV.CA.
Withholding tax is a concern and given that VFV.CA holds US stocks, would there be a withholding tax on any of the dividends distributed and if so would you kindly recommend a few other similar ETFs that track the S&P 500 where the withholding tax is not a concern. Thank you.

Q: Last week I bought some shares in BEPC, stock was up next day so I sold for a profit.
In my TD account they took back 10% of the sale, not the profit but the sale. When I contacted TD they said it was a withholding tax and that I will receive a T5013 for my 2023 taxes. So according to this rationale I sold at a profit but now have a loss. TD told me to contact Brookfield to clarify and I am now anticipating a "he said, she said" argument between these 2 groups. Is this something you have encountered before and if so can you advise on how to cut to the chase here.

Q: I have a sizable capital loss for 2023 right now. I'm starting to think of selling some of my winners in my non-reg accounts to wipe that cap loss out this year. Three of the companies where I have capital gains are Hubspot, Mastercard, and The Trade Desk. What strategy would you recommend for me in selling some or all of these 3 positions to erase the capital loss. MA has been a longterm winner for me, but I worry about Fintech competitors eating into their business. I'd appreciate your insights on whether Hubspot has a rosy future or whether its best times are behind it. The Trade Desk is my most confident position, but, of course, I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!
Q: I have a significant capital loss on TIXT. I know you're not tax experts, but do you think TIXT is sufficiently independent from T such that if I take my tax loss on TIXT and put the proceeds in T until the 30 days is up before I reinvest in TIXT that CRA would allow the original tax loss? Thank you for all you do. John
