    excess retirement contribution

    Client has Sch C loss for 2005. She has already funded her SIMPLE plan with $5,210 (2,000 deferral, 3,211 Employer. . .don't ask me how she calculated that, I have no clue.) She also funded $4,000 Roth. (Of course she never consulted with me before she did that!) In prior years she's always had income, but she cut way back in 2005.

    I understand that there will be excess contribution penalty on the Roth contribution if she doesn't take it out by 4/17. However, I'm not seeing that there is a similar penalty for the SIMPLE. Is there one? And if so, where did you find the info?

    Theoretically speaking, if her income increased by $5,000, it looks like the SIMPLE deferral and contribution come before the ROTH, which would still cause there to be an excess contribution penalty.

    Am I looking at this correctly?

    Many thanks.
