Confused about dryer sheets
Hello all! I am new to this forum and have found it quite helpful so far so I would like to post a question of my own.
I just started working on my 2020 taxes and while inputting my Traditional and Roth IRA contribution data I was notified that I have $3,334 in excess Roth IRA contributions. When I first started all of this mid-2020 I did not realize that the $6,000 contribution limit was the combined total and not per IRA. (I am sure this happens to many newbies).
I was reading up a little bit regarding how to fix this but given that I am 30 years old and a lot of stocks in there will take a hit on short-term gains if I sell them, I am wondering what would be the best thing to do.
Thanks all!
