FHSA tips for new homeowners
Clients have a 30-day window after moving into their new home to withdraw funds from their First Home Savings Account (FHSA) tax-free for expenses. Beyond this period, they have until December 31 of the following year to either transfer any remaining funds to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or Registered Retirement Income Fund without incurring tax penalties, or withdraw the remaining funds as taxable income, which will be subject to withholding tax.

Clients who contribute to an Equitable® FHSA between May 1 and September 30, 2025, will be entered into our Close to Home contest, for a chance to win one of two $8,000 prizes.

Advisors, your efforts matter too! You have a chance to win a $1,000 prize if the client you are assisting, in alignment with their unique homeownership needs, is selected as a winner. At Equitable, we believe that when we grow together, success is mutual.

Sometimes plans change when you least expect
After saving for several years, clients might choose not to buy a home, and that's okay. One of the advantages of a First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is the flexibility to transfer funds to any registered account that accepts contributions. Transfers to Registered Retirement Savings Plans, Registered Retirement Income Funds, or other FHSAs are tax-free and do not impact contribution limits. However, be aware transfers to other accounts are considered withdrawals and are considered taxable income and subject to withholding tax.
