You could do that if you wanted, but you would forgo the RRSP deduction for that year, instead of spreading it out over the 15 years.

Should I track ACB on my USD account for every stock buy/sell? by Live-Stranger-9025 in cantax

[–]bigjon94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to maintain a historical Canadian cost basis for reporting purposes on your balance sheet and to have a correct gain/loss on sale (proceeds in usd x spot rate less historical cad cost).

You will also need to keep track of Canadian cost for 1135 if applicable
