In early 1996, you will receive two 1099R forms for tax filing purposes. If you do not receive a distribution of excess contributions by the IRS deadline, you are subject to a tax penalty on the amount of the excess. Further questions regarding the taxability of excess contributions should be directed to your tax advisor. UC is prohibited by law from providing tax advice. However, the IRS allows those who meet certain eligibility requirements to contribute more.
