Retirement tax questions

@dmertz thanks for the quick reply.

 

I'll probably go with option 1 as that is the clean cut option.  So what are my next steps?  

1) Amend 2019 return and indicate I contributed to roth IRA and have excess contribution?  

2) Presumably this then will automatically trigger form 5329 to pay the 6%.

 

Make payment and mail the 2019 return.  Will there be extra penalty or interest owed on that amount?  Does turbotax calculate that?  When mailing the amended return what should I attach, if any, as additional support, or is there no need? I'd imagine I need to include a statement describing the entire situation?

 

In 2020 return, there will be carry over of the excess from 2019 and that it was withdrawn?

 

thanks
