After you file

" it wasn't affecting me"

an excess contribution left in through 2023 would be penalized again for 6%

 

Since you recharacterized your Roth contribution, you have to amend yout 2022 tax return to

  • report the contribution to a traditional IRA
  • file a replacement 2022 Form 5329 retracting the 6% penalty.

 

When done correctly, you recharacterized your original contribution, the earnings go along for the ride into the second IRA.

For this situation, your amended Form 1040-X should be annotated as follows:

 

"Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2" witten at the top of Form 1040-X
