Answer 1/1 - Submitted 12/28/2009

There is no exception in a 401K for a first time home buyer only exception rule applies to an IRA. You should get the first time home buyer credit if purchased in 08 or 09 which is $8000 and should offset that penalty unless you make too much money. There is an exception for a hardship but that doesn't apply if you just bought a house.
