Frequently Asked Questions
What is Form 5498?
Form 5498 is an IRA Contribution Information Form used to report contributions, rollovers, conversions, recharacterizations, and year-end fair market value for traditional IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Roth IRA, and Inherited IRA contracts. An IRA includes all investments under one IRA plan. It is not necessary to file a Form 5498 for each investment under one plan.
If you are a custodian such as a bank or other financial institution, you need to file the Form 5498 with the IRS & send the copy to the respective participants who made contributions to an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) in the preceding tax year.
You don't need to file Form 5498, if the participants have an IRA but made no contributions for the year. To learn more about Form 5498, visit irs.gov.

How To Avoid Form 5498 Errors?

| Reporting the IRA contribution for the wrong year | Issuing duplicate 5498 Forms |
|---|---|
| Failing to report the contribution as a conversion from a traditional IRA to Roth IRA | Missing or incorrect RMD information |
IRA trustees, issuers, and custodians can avoid making these common errors by checking the information on Form 5498 before transmitting it to the IRS and providing a copy to the client.
How To Increase IRA Deductions?
Custodians of an IRA Plan have until June 30 to send Form 5498 to participants and the IRS. This deadline is six weeks after the income tax filing deadline of May 17. This allows you to continue making contributions to your IRA until May 17 and have them be applied to the previous tax year.
