Retirement tax questions
No because distributions and contributions are two different things and one cannot offset the other especially in a case where the contribution is limited because of AGI considerations. As a result, you should withdraw the contribution to avoid the 6% penalty for making the excess contribution. After making arrangements with the trustee to pay back the excess, here is how to report in Turbo Tax according to irene2805 in her awesome Turbo Tax post.
