If you withdraw any part of your annual contribution with
the related earnings before the due date of your tax return,
it is as if you never made the contribution for 2004.
However, you must report the earnings as taxable income in
2004.

No, but you will have a distribution to report on your 2005
Form 8606.

Default Change Roth contribution after filing?

I've decided decided I want to reduce the amount of my Roth
contribution for 2004, and I've already filed. This change
will have no effect on taxes owed, or on any deductions or
credits. The amount contributed is not specified anywhere
in any form, so I don't see the need to file an amended
return since there is nothing to amend (some entries on form
8880 will change but nothing here is Roth-specific). Do I
need to file an amended return?
