Retirement tax questions

Do I need to tell my Roth IRA custodian about the Carryover or they don't need to know?   It is between me and IRS.

I guess  carryover  does not generate any distribution or removal of gain from contribution   so basically no change to my Roth IRA account.    I will not get any 1099-R or any Form  ( Is there one for Carryover)  from the Roth IRA  Custodian.     

 

In  2022,  what I need to do is to  fill the Form 5329  by myself  to report the $7K excess contribution in 2020 and pay my  $420 excise tax.      I do want to keep    the money in Roth .    

 

Thank for clarify this.

Just wonder.   Alternatively ,  after the time allowed for  Eliminating excess contribution,  I can fix it by making Ordinary Distribution of $7K (or it needs to include the gain)    with no  tax consequence  (on earned interest).  As I just turn 60 year old, I don't pay  early withdrawal penalty or income tax on  distribution.    Since I rather leave more  in the Roth IRA for growth,    it would be better to pay the $420  excise tax once in order to keep the $7 contribution and its large gain of interest untouched din the Roth account.
