Took a withdrawal out of 401(k) Plan Distributions and Used for first Home Purchases in Qualified Disaster Areas

[kcauthenjr]

I used a majority of the withdrawal to purchase my first home between December 27, 2020, until June 25, 2021. How do I input this to reduce the 10% early withdrawal?

Unfortunately, you are able to withdraw from your 401(k) because of the "hardship" provision in order to purchase a new home, but there is no such allowance to avoid the 10% penalty.  The links you have refer to the repayment of the 401(k) used for a home purchase and repaid before June 25, 2021.

The home buyer penalty exception is only for IRA withdrawals, not 401k.
