What is a withdrawal of 2025 Traditional IRA contributions?
If you made traditional IRA contributions in 2025, you can withdraw them tax-free by the due date of your 2025 return (or, if you filed an extension, by the extended due date) as long as you didn't take a deduction for the contribution and you withdraw any interest earned on that contribution.
Any withdrawn interest is considered taxable income and should not be treated as part of your contribution withdrawal. These earnings are reported as taxable IRA distribution income, not as interest, and will appear on Form 1099-R. They should be reported on your tax return for the year in which the excess contribution was made.
Generally, any contributions withdrawn after the due date (or extended due date) will be considered taxable distributions and will be reported to you on a 1099-R. If you haven't reached age 59 1/2, the 10% additional tax on early distributions may apply.
