The excess contribution is rounded to $10 per Pub 590-A worksheet. You need your MAGI.

You can remove more, or even the entire contribution. But the more you remove, the more penalty applies if you have a positive net income attributable to the contribution.

If you didn't have a gain, just remove all and re-contribute the full $6k to traditional IRA.

If your son only had employment income, no business (including self-employment) income, no interest/dividend/capital gain/invesment income, and the total income was less than $12,950, he doesn't have to file unless he wants to get the tax withholding refunded back.

However, if he owes money, the above cannot also be true. One of the above must be false.

Scan them at the best resolution (because when you need a replacement or just a quick look, a copy helps) and store the originals in a bolted-down fire safe. The safe doesn't have to be in your room where valuables are expected.

Put it in your password manager.

The act of rolling over from IRA to 401k is not subject to pro rata rule. However, do not roll over after-tax balance from IRA to 401k.

If all of your traditional IRAs are 100% pretax now, you can roll all of them over to 401k. Then you can do a clean backdoor Roth.

On the other hand, if you already made, for example, a $6k nondeductible contribution, roll over all but the $6k to 401k. (Sell all investments first so the account value stops fluctuating.)

Pretty sure you want to minimize DTI ratio to give more room to the new debt you're planning to take.

Is your wife taking on debts for the farm? Losses and debts don't mean the same thing.
