Deductions & credits

Yes, if you are under age 59½ then the 10% penalty will apply. The income tax and penalty only apply to the earnings of $3,000. The excess contribution of $7,000 won't be taxable.

 

If you do not remove the excess contribution then you would have to pay a 6% penalty each year as long as the excess is left in the account.

 

To verify, your 1099-R has the total distribution in box 1 (excess contribution plus earnings) and the earnings in box 2a. 

 

Please see What happens if I made an excess Roth IRA contribution for additional information.
