    About $36,000 after yoy factor in your tax when you file.

    When they distribute it, they will withhold 20% ($12,000).

    Suggestion:

    Roll over $10,000 into a rollover IRA. Then make the withdrawal from the IRA under First-Time Homebuyer exception.

    You will still pay ordinary income tax (state and federal), but will be exempt from the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty.

    Try some other way to finance your house. The tax consequences of dipping into the 401K is just too high In my opinion.
