Taxpayer did not report the income used from her 401k to purchase a home first time in the amount of 18234. I am amending her return and adding form 5329. To my understanding only the first 10k is included as income. Is that correct and if so do i exclude the remaining 82334 on form 5329 . Sorry first time dealing with these specific form. for 2017 return

It's ALL taxable income, as long as its from an IRA, not a 401K, you can exclude the 10% penalty for early withdrawal on the first 10K.
That's all the breaks you get is the early withdrawal penalty exception up to the first 10K in distribution.

If it was a 401K, no breaks, its all taxable and all subject to penalty.

She received a letter from the Irs stating she did not report her income. Also she called the irs and the agent requested form 5329,and she was told she would only be penalized for the remainder amout after the 10k. Which is the 8239

She misunderstood then....all income taken from a 401k is taxable....only IRA's are eligible for penalty exception for first time home buyers.

Had she taken a loan from the 401K then it wouldn't be taxable unless she defaulted on the loan. But if a 1099R was issued, then it wasn't a loan.

Do you have the IRS Letter? The correct response may not involve an amended return. They hve probably alreday billed for the income tax and penalty. They may really only want the 5329, but if it is all subject to the 10% there may be nothing to do except have the client pay it.

Does she have the agents name and ID number? Did she get it in writing? That's the only way you can rely on what IRS employees ttell you.:laughing:
