Retirement tax questions

Excess contributions are between you and the IRS.

 


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).

Yes, after October 15, 2021 but no later than December 31, 2021 you could make a regular distribution of $7,000 with no adjustment for earnings, eliminating the excess for 2021 and beyond.
