Retirement tax questions
For the 2000 $200, it s too late to get a return of contribution (as said above) and you will owe a 6% penalty on a 2020 5329 form on an amended 2020 tax return.
The $6,000 2021 excess (or what is left of it if there was a loss attributed to the $6,000) can be returned as a "return of contribution". If less than $6,000 because of the loss you simply get less money back - you do not make up for the loss with other funds.
And you do not "withdraw" it yourself, you ask of a "return of contribution" and if done in 2022, the financial institution will issue a 2022 1099-R with a code P or PJ if a Roth for you to enter in your 2022 tax return.
Had there been a gain instead, you would receive back more then the contribution and the gain would be taxable income.
