Excessive Roth contribution

I contributed 7000 in non deductible Roth IRA contributions in 2024 before realizing I was beyond the MAGI, I reached out to Schwab so the best option for me is to withdraw the funds (with a Schwab Form) and also fill out the IRS 5329. 

 

 

 

How do I calculate the income on the 2024 contribution (and where do I enter this)? I found a fidelity calculator that makes sense but wasn't sure if this was universal: 

 

 

 

Contributions * ((account value before correction) - (account value before contribution + contributions))/ (account value before contribution + contributions)

Excessive Roth contribution

If you withdrew your 2024 excess contribution to your Roth IRA before the due date of the 2024 tax return (April 15, 2025), make sure that you also withdraw the related earnings.

 

On your 2024 tax return, you do not report the excess contribution as it has been withdrawn. The earnings have to reported and taxed in 2024. There is no need for form 5329 as the excess have been withdrawn and no excise tax is due.

 

For this, you would create a 2025 form 1099-R with the total distribution (excess plus earnings) in box 1, the earnings in box 2a and code PJ in box 7. You then enter this 1099-R on your tax return, and the earnings will be taxed. When entering this form 1099-R, make sure to indicate that the year on the form is 2025, as this is a replica of the form you will receive for year 2025 in 2026.

 

If there is a loss, that loss is not deductible.

 

When you receive the 2025 form 1099-R with code PJ in box 7 (in 2026) for this withdrawal, there is no further action needed.

 

For MAGI over which a Roth contribution is not allowed, please see this IRS document. You asked where to enter this income. The answer is that you do not need to enter on your tax return.

 

For the calculation of the Modified AGI for Roth IRA purposes, please see Worksheet 2-1 contained in this IRS document.

Excessive Roth contribution

Thanks Minh,

 

Since I'm technically taking a distribution from the Roth,should I also fill out IRS form 8606?

Excessive Roth contribution

No, you do not need to fill out Form 8606. Distributions that are a return of contributions are not entered on line 19 of Form 8606. Please see Form 8606 Instructions for details.
