Using money from an early withdrawal from a 401k to buy a house is not an exception to the early withdrawal penalty. There will be a 10% early withdrawal penalty as well as ordinary taxes if you are under the age of 59 1/2 if you took money out of a 401k to buy a house. The rules are different when you take an early withdrawal to buy a house from a traditional IRA.
However-----you say you took the money out in 2020 and now you are using the money to buy a house in 2021---maybe you had better explain more about what you have been doing with that money and why you withdrew it from the retirement account in 2020.
