Saving for retirement with an IRA<\/a> or other tax-advantaged account will generate a Form 5498 from your financial institution at the beginning of tax time. Your financial institution also sends the IRS a copy of the form, which documents how much you contributed to your IRA during the year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Information Reported<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Form 5498 reports:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Contributions made to your IRA, HSA, and ESA plans<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The fair market value of the account as of December 31<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span> of the tax year.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If the account holder is required to take minimum distributions <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You will receive a Form 5498 for every retirement account type you own: traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, and more, from each institution where they are held. <\/span><\/p>\n

    There are three different types of Form 5498, depending on the information being reported: <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Form 5498, IRA Contribution Information, documents individual retirement accounts like traditional IRAS, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLE IRA plans. <\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Form 5498-SA, documents health savings accounts (HSAs) information<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Form 5498-ESA reports Coverdell Education Savings Accounts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Including on Your Tax Return<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

      Contributions to a traditional IRA are reported in Box 1 of Form 5498. Line 32 of your Form 1040 will report deductible IRA contributions. Nondeductible IRA contributions go on for 8606, line 1. The amount in Box 1 of Form 5498 include contributions designated for the previous tax year and made to traditional IRA plan. <\/span><\/p>\n

      You won\u2019t find Roth IRA contributions reported on your tax return, but box 10 of the Form 5498 does show the Roth IRA contributions you made designated for the previous tax year. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Self-employed individuals will notice SEP and SIMPLE IRA contributions reported on line 28 of the 1040. If these types of contributions are made by an employer, they won\u2019t be reported on the tax return, but will be shown on the employee\u2019s W-2 in box 12. Code F indicates a SEP IRA, while Code S is a SIMPLE IRA. These amounts are representative of contributions made during the calendar year instead of the designated tax year, like a traditional or Roth IRA.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Rollover contributions are reported in Form 5498 in Box 2. If you made any direct rollovers, it should match with what was reported on your Form 1099-R plus indirect rollover amounts. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Box 4 reports Roth IRA conversions. This box should match with what is reported on the Form 1099-R for Roth IRA contributions, along with lines 8,16, or 21 on the Form 8606.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Health savings account contributions are listed in box 2 of Form 5498-SA. These contributions are inclusive of the entire tax year, including those you made and those your employer made. Employer contributions are also found on your W-2 in box 12 under code W. Contributions you made are reported on line 25 of your 1040. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
