Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Bill,

 

Just a few last questions.

 

You wrote:

"You need to contact your IRS custodian and request of withdrawal of excess contributions. There is possibly a form online at the custodian's website for this; otherwise, speak to a customer service rep - this is a common enough thing that people do."  Did you mean IRA Custodian?

 

You wrote:

"When you are entering the 1099-R into TurboTax, I believe that TurboTax will ask you if you want to withdraw the excess by the due date of the return. Answer "yes". "  An IRA contribution is recorded on Form 5498. So not sure what you wrote?

 

Also, the excess contribution was to the IRA, not the 401K. I need to fix the over payment to the IRA.

 

Also, don't I have until July 15 to fix this?  Since the tax deadline is now July 15?

 

thank you in advance.
