My understanding is that removal of excess contribution is reported to the IRS. Won't they (IRS) demand a corresponding indication from the tax payer if he chooses not to file anything about it?

I got no Retirement Savings Contribution Credit nor Withholding Tax Amount, just a net loss.

 

Thanks
