I contributed $6000 to a Roth IRA in 2006, which caused an excess of $2000. It is now after the tax-filing deadline with extension. I know that there is a 6% excise tax penalty already. My question is: Are there any taxes if I withdraw the $2000? And would the early distribution penalty 10% apply since I am under 59 1/2?

Can I deduct loss from excess contribution on Roth IRA?

So, let’s say I decide to make withdrawal instead of roll-over, do I withdraw the contribution amounts or the current value attributing to the decline in values?
