Excess Roth IRA contributions removed as normal distribution (not corrective distributions)
I contributed $1500 directly to Roth IRA in 2022 (towards Year 2022) and then realized my income wont let me directly contribute to Roth IRA. So I removed it as a normal distribution and thought everything is fine. The other day I read that I should have removed it as corrective distribution, so I called my brokerage and they are saying that since it was done more than 6 months before, they can't change it. The amount I contributed was removed as is - no-earnings/no-loss. But I am worried that it will be reported in 1099-R as normal distribution, and that I also contributed $1500.
Now I am planning to contribute $6000 to traditional IRA that I am eligible to do for the year 2022, but will I be in a problem if I do so. Will the $1500 that I contributed be added to $6000 and then IRS will treat $1500 as excess?
I am not sure if the $1500 normal distribution from Roth IRA will nullify $1500 contribution to Roth IRA.
Any advice?
