Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi! Thanks for asking!
You can use the first time home buyer exception to withdraw up to $10,000 of earnings without penalty. If the Roth IRA has been opened at least 5 years, the withdrawal is also exempt from regular income tax. Withdrawing more than $10,000 of earnings will result in regular income tax plus a 10% penalty, unless you are over age 59-1/2.
Here is a link for how to enter it into TurboTax when the time comes: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/i-m-taking-an-early-distribution-from-my-rot...
