Does a TFSA have any impact on federal income-tested benefits and credits?
No. A TFSA improves savings incentives because neither the income earned in a TFSA nor withdrawals from it affect eligibility for federal income-tested benefits and credits, such as the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the GST credit, the Age Credit, Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits.
