Retirement tax questions

There are income limits tied to Roth IRA contributions.  If your income is too high to allow you to make the maximum contribution to your Roth IRA, then you will be penalized with a 6% excise tax for the amount that was over-contributed and not removed from the account by the due date of your return.
