Retirement tax questions

Sorry---taking money out of a 401k to make a down payment on a house is not an exception to the early withdrawal penalty.  You can take money from a traditional IRA without that 10% penalty, but not from a 401k.   You will be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty if you were younger than 59 1/2  plus ordinary income tax on the distribution from your 401k.

 

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
