To avoid paying the 6% penalty you can:
- Withdraw the excess contribution plus earnings: Keep in mind that the earnings are included in your taxable income for the year the excess contribution was made, so you’ll still receive a 1099-R to report these earnings on your tax return
- Recharacterize the Roth IRA contribution as a traditional IRA contribution: Contact your plan administrator for guidance on this process.
