Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The 6% penalty would apply to every year that the excess is left in the account, and would include any earnings attributed to the excess contributions- so you will have to report and calculate going forward until the excess is corrected.  This would be a nightmare to me and as I said, you would still have to make the excess correction at some point.
