My wife changed jobs in the middle of the year last year and it barely put us over the income threshold for Roth IRA, but I didn't realize it and contributed to it anyway in December. What are my options? I haven't filed my taxes yet.

Do I just move last years contribution to a traditional IRA? Are there any penalties? I assume I will have to pay taxes on my gains

Etrade had a feature that unwound everything out of roth into a brokerage account pretty painlessly, Happened to me couple years ago, with an unexpected bonus.

Can I piggy back on this so I can avoid starting a thread?

I started a Roth IRA on E-Trade, with a very minimal contribution, just to get it started. I don’t know if I set it up right or what to expect from it, or really how much to add. Any info is appreciated. I’m adding it from taxed income.
