Q&A: What form to modify excess IRA contribution?
Question by chillair23: What form to modify excess IRA contribution?
I just realized that I contributed $ 1000 to ROTH IRA for 2007, but I also contributed $ 4000 to Traditional IRA. I assume it is not ok, but I don’t know what I should do now. I don’t think it will affect my refund, but do I still need to file corrections? Thanks for any help!

If contributions to your Roth IRA for a year were more than the limit, you can apply the excess contribution in one year to a later year if the contributions for that later year are less than the maximum allowed for that year. A 6% excise tax applies to any excess contribution to a Roth or Traditional IRA combined. The additional tax is figured on Form 5329.
