I figured out the issue with accessing the "Excess Removal" form online. For whatever asinine reason, when you click on the link to access the form it dumps you to the "Excess contributions, recharacterizations and Roth conversions" page and by default, there is no form or document displayed...

Going further down the rabbit hole... So the Vanguard Retirement Group could not perform the excess removal until the funds has settled. I had to wait until today to call back and make the excess removal request. The Retirement Group support person filled out an excess removal form and send...
