Retirement tax questions

Since you didn't withdraw your 2020 Excess HSA Contribution before tax filing deadline in 2021, as @Opus17 suggests, withdraw the excess amount in addition to what is needed for medical expenses.

 

The penalty on the carryover is 6% of the smaller of the carryover OR the balance in your HSA. So when your HSA balance goes to zero, then there will be no more penalty anyway.

 

The $34 will be added to 'Other Income' and assessed the 20% penalty.
