Tax deduction often missed...the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

A qualifying home must be registered in your and/or your spouse's or common-law partner's name in accordance with the applicable land registration system, and must be located in Canada. It includes existing homes and homes under construction.
The following are considered qualifying homes:

• single-family houses;

Note
To qualify you must be a First Time homebuyer only. 

You can claim an amount of $5,000 for the purchase of a qualifying home made in 2011, if both of the following apply:

• You or your spouse or common-law partner acquired a qualifying home.
• 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).
