Answer 1

With a TFSA, the contributions are not tax deductible. However, the withdrawals (including the investment returns earned) are tax free.

The contribution limit to a TFSA for 2020 is $6,000.

The answer is (b) - He can make a $6,000 contribution, but cannot claim it as a deduction in his personal income tax return.
