Great video! I'm 65 with a defined benefit government pension along with a smallish ($100k) RRSP. I actually still have a $40k RRSP deduction limit if I want to use it on my 2024 taxes. Question... Is it worth using this $40k, then moving my RRSP to a RRIF in 2025? Or forget about it and convert my $100k RRSP to a RRIF this year and starting minimum withdrawals in 2025? (PS.. I'm holding off taking CPP and OAS for 5 years). I realize you can't give specific answers... just a general comment about adding to my RRSP before changing to RRIF would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi @lemino10 - It is based on line 23400 of your tax return which is net income before adjustments --- Taken from CRA website In accordance with the income tax act, if your net income before adjustments (line 23400 on the tax return) exceeds $86,912 (for 2023), you may have to repay part or all of your pension.
Well done Marc! ✅

Hi Marc. Is the 90,000.00 income net or gross? Thank you.
