no penalty for first time home buyer, but still have ord income tax


I thought this was for a traditional IRA ($10,000 exempt), but not for a 401k.

Correct. Can't use the exemption for a 401(k) distribution.

To be honest, I don't know how he could take a full distribution while still working for the company. Most companies will not allow it unless there is a hardship waiver, and he doesn't seem like he would qualify.

Either way, this is a bad move. Wait, save, and buy later.
