i transfered money to a roth ira and it was to much and it said i owe 2356.00 per year that excess money stays there how do i reverse that transfer

If you made a Roth conversion then do not enter this as a Roth IRA contribution in the IRA contribution interview. You only enter your Form 1099-R and then indicate in the follow-up questions that it was a conversion. 

If you actually made an excess Roth IRA contribution then please see What happens if I made an excess Roth IRA contribution.

Why does the irs want to know how much I have in a 401k and what if I didn’t have a 8606 from last year

for purposes of IRA taxable amount, use the most recently filed Form 8606.
