return of excess contribution:
after tax due date including extensions: you distribute the excess amount being carried forward on 5329,
(or offset it with currently allowed contribution) .
Amended return(s) will be needed supplying that Form 5329 since there is a 6% penalty per year on accumulating excess contributions .
Earnings stay in the Roth account.
Consult your custodian to obtain the correct removal form for straight distribution.
