Form 5329 instructions say the following:

You can withdraw some or all of your excess contributions for 2023 and they will be treated as not having been contributed if:

  • You make the withdrawal by the due date, including extensions, of your 2023 tax return; and

  • You withdraw any earnings on the withdrawn contributions and include the earnings in gross income (see the Instructions for Form 8606 for details). Also, if you hadn't reached age 59 1/2 at the time of the withdrawal, include the earnings as an early distribution on line 1 of Form 5329 for the year in which you report the earnings. Report this amount on line 2 and enter exception number 21.
