Roth IRA First Time Home Buyer

Apr 11, 2020 Last reply: 6 years ago 1 Replies

Hi All -



OP took out $2100 to buy his first home, from his Roth IRA. Assuming he's under the age where that would avoid a possible penalty, and assuming he qualifies for the first-time home-buyer exemption, how does that get reflected on his tax returns (if at all)?



Thanks.



If the 1099-R shows an early distribution (Code 1) then he uses Form

5329 Part I to account for the exception to the penalty. First time homebuyer exception code is 09.
