My girlfriend and I purchased a home in 2014. It is my second home but her first. does she qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit?

 

Investors and rental owners

PER CRA

You can claim an amount of $5,000 for the purchase of a qualifying home acquired in 2014, if both of the following apply:

  • you or your spouse or common-law partner acquired a qualifying home; and
  • you did not live in another home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner in the year of acquisition or in any of the four preceding years (first-time home buyer)

If CRA considers her a common law partner, she will not qualify.
