Hello,**I spoke with a Vanguard specialist today about my Roth IRA accounts. I mentioned to him that I am married and filing separately, and he let me know that if I had this status when I contributed the $** to my Roth IRA account on ********, then I over-contributed. Thus, I would need to fill out an amended tax return before *******, with the appropriate forms filled (****-R and ****). **On further investigation, I sent a W* form on ******** to my employer to change to "married, filing single rate." I noticed that my first paycheck with tax status as "married, filing single rate" was on ********. On my previous paycheck on ********, I had a tax status as "married, filing jointly." **Thus, my question is the following--- Since I contributed $** BEFORE my paycheck on ******** (which withdrew at new "married filing single status"), is it correct that I do NOT have to file an amended tax return? Or does the IRS look at the W* form date (********) to decide WHEN to count me as "married filing single rate"--- in which case, I would have overcontributed to the Roth and thus, I would have to file an amended tax return?**I noticed that I was never sent a ****-R form to fill out, or a tax notice from Vanguard apart from the **** form. I know that I presented a complicated case, but would appreciate any guidance you can provide. **Thank you very much.**- Jeevan
