I am a first-time home buyer and my partner isn't, how much of the $5,000 First-Time Home Buyers Tax credit maximum can I claim?

Have you lived in a home owned by your partner before buying your current home?

Yes I have

As you have lived in a home owned by your partner, unfortunately neither of you are eligible for the First Time Home Buyer's credit.

What if it is a new home (not owned by either partner) and she has never owned a home? I have but not our current one. Can she still not qualify for the credit or part of it?
