Retirement tax questions

That would be a disallowed Roth conversion with the excess now in the Roth.   I doubt that the IRA custodian will undo the conversion (but you should ask them) and do a 'Return of contribution" and any earnings attributed to the excess.  

 

If they will not undo it then you should take a distribution from the Roth equal to the contribution and any earnings before filing date (or extended filing date if an extension is filed) then the contribution amount will offset the amount of contribution but the earnings will be taxable plus a 10% excise tax if you are younger then age 59 1/2.
