Can I take a penalty free distribution from my Traditional IRA to use for the purchase of a home?

Your Traditional IRA and Buying a Home

If you are going to use your Traditional IRA to purchase a home, you can take a penalty free distribution. There are rules and limits that apply, however, you can use this distribution to build or repair your first home, a home for your spouse, grandchildren, or for yours and your spouse's parents.
