Do I need to file 5329 after removing excessive HSA contribution

Hi,

 

I am a CA resident who over contributed to my HSA account last year by about $200. I want to remove the excessive contribution by deadline (with extension). It looks like I have two with two options:

1) Withdraw in cash.

2) Rollover the excessive contributed amount to this year.

 

 

 

My question is:

1) Is option 1 better than option 2?

2) Do I need to file 5329 in either case?

3) For federal tax, I was also suggested to include the excessive contribution into other incomes in 1040. What shall I do with CA tax? Will I be double-taxed on the $200 if I increase my taxable income by $200?

 

 

Thanks
