Retirement tax questions

Yes, you will wait for Form 1099-R.

 

You removed the excess and therefore don't have to pay a penalty.

 

When you make an excess SEP contribution you have two options to fix the mistake:

  1. Have the excess removed 
  2. Under-contribute by the same amount the next year and pay the 10% penalty (file Form 5330)

Please see IRS SEP Plan Fix-It Guide - Contributions to the SEP-IRA exceeded the maximum legal limits for details.

 

Please see SEP-IRA excess contribution previous year: options? Process? for more information on option 2.
