If you are a first-time homebuyer (meaning you have not purchased a home in the last two years), you can avoid the penalty for early withdrawal (10%) if you use your IRA for the purchase of a home. You still have to pay any income taxes on the distribution. See Topic No. 557 Additional Tax on Early Distributions.
