Can you reverse an IRA contribution?
IRA contributions have to be reversed within the same tax year. Get your IRA ending balance of the month just before the contribution you want to reverse. You can find this information in your account statements, in print or online.
How do I correct an IRA contribution?
If the excess amount is the only contribution you made to the IRA—and no other contributions, distributions, transfers, or recharacterizations occurred in the IRA—you can correct the excess by simply distributing the entire IRA balance by the applicable deadline.

To change an IRA contribution, contact your account custodian and explain the situation. They should be able to change the contribution year without you having to withdraw and redeposit your funds manually.
Can I change my mind on an IRA contribution?
If you want to move your IRA contribution from one IRA to another, you can recharacterize it rather than withdrawing it. For example, if you made a contribution to a traditional IRA but instead wanted to contribute to a Roth IRA, you can transfer the contribution from your traditional to your Roth IRA.
Do I have to report IRA contributions on my tax return?
Traditional IRA contributions should appear on your taxes in one form or another. If you’re eligible to deduct them, report the amount as a traditional IRA deduction on Form 1040 or Form 1040A. Roth IRA contributions, on the other hand, do not appear on your tax return.
Do I report IRA contributions on taxes?
Contributions to a Roth IRA aren’t deductible (and you don’t report the contributions on your tax return), but qualified distributions or distributions that are a return of contributions aren’t subject to tax.
Why is my TSP not being matched?
Contributions above 5% of your pay will not be matched. If you stop making regular employee contributions, your matching contributions will also stop. Further, your Agency/Service Matching Contributions are based on the total amount of money (traditional and Roth) that you contribute each pay period.
