Retirement tax questions

It sounds like it is correct.  The rollover is not taxable.  The IRA withdrawal is taxable.  If this was a first time home purchase, then the penalty is waived.  You still have to pay the ordinary income tax on the disbursement, but the 10% penalty is waived.   When you look at your Form 1040, you should see $18K is retirement income, but only $9K on the taxable line, which sounds like what you described above.  There should be no penalty for either transaction.
