Thank you very much for your detail response! Does the following actions make sense?
1. file amended 2020 return on the excess amount
2. Withdraw excess contribution from 2020 by 12/31/2021 (leave earnings in account)
3. Report withdrawal when filing 2021 return
Last question, does it mean I will be paying 6% tax for 2020 and then 2021 again?
thanks!!
Your plan is correct. You will pay 6% on the excess on your 2020 return but you won't pay an additional penalty in 2021 if you withdraw the excess before 12/31/21.
