- 4 - distributions that qualify as first-time homebuyer distributions as defined in section 72(t)(8). Section 72(t)(8)(A) provides generally that the term "qualified first-time homebuyer distribution" means any payment or distribution received by an individual to the extent such payment or distribution is used by the individual before the close of the 120th day after the day on which such distribution or payment is received to pay qualified acquisition costs with respect to a principal residence of a first-time homebuyer who is such individual, the spouse of such individual, or any child, grandchild, or ancestor of such individual or the individual's spouse. Section 72(t)(8)(D) defines a first-time homebuyer as an individual (and, if married, his spouse) who had no present ownership interest in a principal residence during the 2-year period ending on the date of acquisition of the principal residence in question. Other provisions in that section are not pertinent here. On this record, the Court is satisfied that the distributions in question constituted distributions that were used by petitioner in the acquisition of a principal residence, and that such distributions were qualified first-time homebuyer distributions within the intent and meaning of section 72(t)(8). Petitioner, accordingly, is sustained on the sole issue before the Court.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next
