is a first time homebuyer tax credit for a roth ira distribution
Traditional IRA distributions are taxable and, unless you're 59 1/2 years old, subject to an extra 10 percent tax penalty. However, if you qualify as a first-time home buyer, you avoid the additional tax, but not regular income taxes, on your distribution. For example, assume you're not yet 59 1/2 years old, that you pay a 25 percent tax rate and that you take a $10,000 distribution for your first home.
