Buying stocks with TFSA

Say my contribution limit is $10,000. I use $7,000 to buy XYZ stocks. Over the course of several months, I made an extra $4000, so now I have $11,000 in my account in that same year I deposited the 10,000. Is that considered over contribution?

^ +1

you still have 300 contribution room.

Contribution is what you put in, not what you earned.

if you lose 4000, you cant claim it as capital loss.

what? The OP is saying

1 - He has a contribution limit of 10,000
2 - He deposits 10,000 in a TFSA
3 - He uses 7,000 to buy a stock ABC
4 - Stock ABC goes ZOOM ZOOM to a value of 11,000
5 - He asks, is he over the limit?

Answer: No, any capital appreciation earned in the account is not counted towards your yearly contributions.

Tax-deferred accounts will not impose capital gains, so you cant claim losses either. It's a 2-way deal.

TFSA's, RRSP's and their derivatives (RRIF, SRRSP, SRRIF, LIRA, LRRSP, RPP) can never claim tax loss or gains.

any earning generated in TFSA is tax-free and not considered as part of your contribution.

How do they ding you if you're making too much money?

That kinda defeats the purpose of having a 'tax fee' savings account isn't it?

Do they have similar rules on RRSP's too?

never heard of that before, if anything the government should thank u for making money, so u will use that money to spend and spending equals growth in the economy
