Can I classify IRA distributions used for first time home purchase in TurboTax?

[carbolito]

My wife and I both withdrew $10k each from our 401k/IRA accounts towards the purchase of our first/primary home. I was told that these IRA distributions are allowed/penalty-free as long as the amount is below $10k per person and when filing our taxes we specify that this distribution was for a first time home purchase. Now, will I be able to do this in TurboTax next year, or will I have to use a tax preparer?

Yes, TurboTax can do that to waive the 10% penalty.

However, you said "401k/IRA".  The penalty exception for a first-time homebuyer only applies to IRA withdrawals, not 401(k) withdrawals.  So if either of you withdrew from a 401(k), that penalty can not be waived.

However, you will still owe taxes on the withdrawals.
