After 13 years of schooling, Lindsay graduated from the University of Toronto in April 2019 as a neurosurgeon and landed a fabulous job in Montreal a month later. She had always lived in Toronto, Ontario but this was a great career opportunity, so she decided to move last May.

b)Lindsay made a Registered Retirement Saving Plan (RRSP) contribution based on her CRA Notice of Assessment, which shows her the RRSP deduction limit (i.e. how much she can contribute - note: her RRSP carry-forward amounts are nil as she has always maximized her annual contributions). She will claim the maximum contribution as a deduction in her 2019 personal income tax return. If she is in the highest marginal tax bracket, what will be her refund?
