Tax FAQs
Form 5498 reports your total annual contributions to an IRA account and identifies the type of retirement account you have, such as a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA. Form 5498 will also report amounts that you roll over or transfer from other types of retirement accounts into this IRA. If you claim a deduction for an IRA contribution, you should reference the amounts on Form 5498.
Please note, Form 5498 reports contributions differently depending on the type of IRA that you have. 5498 forms report SEP and SIMPLE IRA contributions made in a specific calendar year. This form will not include contributions made outside the calendar year even though they may be coded as a previous year contribution. 5498 forms report Tradition and Roth IRA contributions for the year they are code.
