Yes or No? "Have you participated in (LLP) or Home Buyers Plan (HBP) in the past?" Purchased home in 2016 (RRSP HBP in 2016). In 2017, closed & moved in.

Because the question asks "in the past" which I have participated in 2016, do I answer yes to this question for 2017 tax return?

Investors and rental owners

Hi, the question is referring to the 'past'  tax year. If you previously participated and claimed the HBP in 2016, then you you would not be eligible again. The answer to this question would be 'no'
