Probably a dumb question, but if I'm allowed to withdraw money from my Roth IRA to buy my first home, can I put it back so as to keep that years' Roth "alive", or is that money lost from my Roth account, never to be recovered?

I asked a similar question about a "move-up" home. I'm not an accountant, but check out the responses I got.

Carol,

You probably already know this, but just in case… when you refer someone to a particular thread, it may be a good idea to add the link. This makes it easier for your reference to be located.

A link can be added to your message by copying the website address from the ‘address field’ and pasting it to your message.



This particular one was easy to find now because the last posting was just added. This is not always the case.





Gormaly,
