Deductions & credits

You can use the substitute from this year to report the removal of the excess contribution or wait until next year. This seems to be a widely used practice and should not necessarily cause an audit unless the 4852 form is filled out incorrectly.  if you do this, make sure you get all of the information correct on the form including EIN and address.
