I withdraw $58,000 out of my 401k for a first time home buyer. Only to find out that that rule applies to IRA's. Michigan taxes me at around 4% on my income and the $58,000. It appears that I can write off the $58,000 on schedule 1 against my income for Michigan tax purposes. Is that the case?? Thanks.

Check with your plan administrator. Withdrawal from 401K, even for first time home buyer, is subject to 10% early withdrawal penalty and the amount will be taxed as your regular income. Many plans allow loan against your 401K to first time home buyers.
