Retirement tax questions

I assume you have a carry over on the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen. Please follow these steps to delete the entry:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Select “Roth IRA
  4. On the "Do you have any Excess Roth Contributions" answer "Yes"
  5. On the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen delete the carry over.

 

To confirm did you delete the Roth IRA contribution when you filed your 2023 tax return or do you show a penalty on your 2023 Schedule 2 line 8? If you show a penalty then you will have to amend your 2023 return to remove the Roth IRA contribution entry. This will remove the 6% penalty on Form 5329 and therefore on Schedule 2. Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?
