TP made a $2,000 Roth IRA contribution for 1999. As it turns out, her income is above the threshhold to make a full $2,000 Roth contribution. She is only permited a $1,700 Roth contribution. I know the $300 excess in the Roth can be recharacterized into her traditional IRA. My question is, must the earnings also be recharacterized, or just the $300?

A recharacterization must include the applicable income.
