Deductions & credits

@BillM223 ,

 

Thanks very much for this informative, clear answer. It addresses my queries and tells me what I need to do. I would like to ask: while there is no doubt that I need to pay tax on the $3000 excessive contribution, is there a way to defer that amount (or even the $2500) to tax year 2023, now that I know there is no double taxation?
