Today TaxMama hears from Matthew in California who begs leave… “I withdrew money from my IRA for a first time home purchase. The amount was over $10,000, the lifetime maximum. Can any of the portion over the k mark be attached to my wife’s name?

In effect, could we get a $20K early withdrawal penalty exemption for both of us, even though the IRA account was in my name?”
Dear Matthew,
What a wonderful idea!
Why don’t you suggest that to your US Congressfolk? Perhaps they can include it in their next round of tax confusion – I mean tax simplification.
Unfortunately, you hit the target when you said it was YOUR IRA. The first word of IRA is “Individual” – Retirement Account. It’s your account, not a joint account.
Unfortunately, you are, indeed limited to one ,000 shot at a down payment.

However, your might be entitled to one of the homebuyers’ credits – especially the First-Time Homebuyers Credit. https://www.taxquips.com/index.php?id=1460 That may help overcome the pain of the IRA penalty.
Also, consider reading the instructions to Form 5329, the penalty form. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i5329.pdf
On page 3, you will find a list of codes for exceptions to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. Perhaps one or more exceptions apply to you?
