If a 65 year old client made an excess contribution to a Traditional IRA in 2023 and did not claim it on his tax return, how should he treat the total distribution 2024?

Part of it is a normal distribution. The part attributable to the excess is treated as an untimely return of the excess., subject to applicable penalty.

What made it excess for 2023? Was it reported as a nondeductible contribution on Form 8606?

Earnings attributable to the amount would be reported for every year the excess exists in the account.

It also matters if the contribution was deducted or not.
