Yes, you would include the Earnings amount along with the Excess Contribution amount from your Roth IRA, that was recharacterized to your Traditional IRA, so your 2023 return is correct.
How to Fix an Excess IRA Contribution
- Withdraw the excess contribution and earnings. In general, you can avoid the 6% penalty if you withdraw the extra contribution and any earnings before your tax deadline. You must declare the earnings as income on your taxes. Also, you may owe a 10% tax for early withdrawal on the earnings if you're younger than 59 ½.
- File an amended tax return (if you’ve already filed). You can avoid the 6% penalty if you remove the excess contribution and earnings and file an amended return by the October extension deadline.
- Apply the excess to next year’s contribution. Doing this on a future tax return won’t get you off the hook for the 6% tax this year, but at least you’ll stop paying once you apply the excess.
- Withdraw the excess next year. If you don't do one of the other options first, you can withdraw the excess funds by Dec. 31 of the following year. You can leave the earnings in, but you must remove the entire excess contribution to avoid that 6% penalty for the following year.
