Excess Contributions Question

Excess Contributions Question

With excess contributions, the initial rollover doesn’t classify as a contribution does it? So for instance I put in 55k when I rolled over then my wife put in 31k, would it only be the amounts in excess of that we put in each fin year that count towards the excess contributions?

Am I right that we are allowed to put in 25k each per fin. year before excess contributions tax kicks in?

Thanks
