I don;t know that the IRS has issued official revised figures.  There was a change made to correct for a missed inflation adjustment at some point in the past, I think.  It would be best to wait for the official word from the IRS. 

2021: file an amended return, report the excess contribution on form 5329 and pay the 6% penalty 2022: file an amended return, report the ongoing excess on form 5329 and pay the 6% penalty 2023: file an amended return, report the ongoing excess on form 5329 and pay the 6% penalty 2024: file an amended return, report the ongoing excess on form 5329 and pay the 6% penalty   2025: It is too late to use the special procedure to remove excess plus earnings.  You just have a regular withdrawal of whatever dollar amount.  When you report that withdrawal, it will also go on form 5329 and clear the ongoing excess balance.  The withdrawal itself follows the normal Roth IRA rules and it will not be taxed as long as the withdrawal is less than your combined historical contributions.

I have been trying to get to talk to an agent ion canadian tax return, but is impossible for that stp machine to connect me to an agent. your policy about netfiling is outdated and I need to file my taxes, all a wanted was to talk to an agent to let them know this so i can file them, here is the lates information about it directly from the CRA website. Non-residents can now use EFILE and NETFILE to submit their 2024 income tax and benefit returns The CRA is constantly improving its services to help Canadians file their income tax and benefit returns. By doing so, taxpayers are able to get any refunds, and benefit and credit payments they may be entitled to. This tax season, the CRA is making tax-filing easier and faster for non-residents. Effective February 2025, EFILE restrictions have been lifted for deemed residents of Canada. This means that these non-residents will be able to file their individual income tax and benefit returns for 2024 and subsequent tax years through EFILE, subject to some exclusions. Also effective February 2025, NETFILE restrictions have been lifted for emigrant taxpayers. Individual income tax and benefit returns for the 2024 tax year will be the first year accepted through NETFILE for emigrants. Together with the changes made on March 28, 2024, emigrants can now use EFILE or NETFILE to submit their returns. Please update this so i can file my taxes, as fast as you can, thank you.

Did you file a 2021 federal return?   You can get copies of your W-2's if you pay the IRS for a copy of your 2021 federal return. You can pay the IRS $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s      https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf      Or you can pay for copies from Social Security: To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501   https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2  

  You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

E-filing for 2018 has been closed since mid-October of 2019.   Any refund for a 2018 return was forfeited several years ago, so if you were expecting a refund, the IRS will not pay it even if you mail in the return.  If you owe tax due, it is owed with late filing penalties and interest, for which the IRS will bill you after they receive the return and your payment of the amount due as shown on line 37 of the Form 1040.   The only way to file it now is by mail; you can print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.         You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

In the PDF of your tax return, the last page at the end of the federal return is "Electronic Postmark - Certification of Electronic Filing." It shows the date and time that you e-filed the tax return and the date that the IRS accepted it.
