Hi all,
I made an error on my 2020 form 5329. On line 42, I incorrectly entered an excess contribution amount for 2019, when it should have been zero. This caused me to have an excess contribution and additional 6% tax for the year. For each year since, I have carried over the excess and paid the 6% tax. I finally want to get this fixed so I don't have to keep paying the 6% every year.
How do I best correct? do I file an amended return for 2020, 2021, 2022 and then have a correct carryover amount (line 42) for my 2023 return? Other ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Andy

Yes, if did not have an excess contribution from 2019 then you will need to amend your returns and correct the entry on Form 5329.
Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?
Great, thank you for your help.
