Retirement tax questions

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

One more question, if I may:

According to Turbotax:  

A distribution from a Roth IRA is a qualified distribution if the following conditions are met:

First, the distribution must be made after the five-year period beginning with the first tax year for which a regular or conversion contribution was made for your benefit. (Our last contribution to a Roth was in 2010.)

Second, the distribution must be... (4) made to purchase a first home, subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000. (Even though I have been part owner in the past, I (we) have never claimed the $10,000 credit, so don't I qualify? )

Turbotax is worded in such a way that it is confusing.  

MANY THANKS!
