"Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes"
What does this mean? Do I get taxed for putting money into the TFSA?
>>1011876
You put post-taxed money into TFSA, as in money you have already paid taxes on.

In ELICanadianand5 terms what >>1011879 means is this:
1: Earn $100K
2: Put $5K in TFSA.
3: Owe tax as if you'd only made $95K.
What it does NOT mean is:
1: Be millionaire.
2: Hide money under mattress except for $5K TFSA contribution.
3: File a tax return showing $0 income and magically expect a $5K tax refund.

That's what the first guy said, you idiot. That's called post-taxed money, money you already paid taxes on. Money you don't deduct from your gross income on your tax return.
