In various ways, a Roth IRA varies from a standard IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA aren’t tax deductible (and aren’t reported on your tax return), but qualifying distributions or distributions that are a return of contributions aren’t. The account or annuity must be labeled as a Roth IRA when it is set up to be a Roth IRA. Refer to Topic No. 309 for further information on Roth IRA contributions, and read Is the Distribution from My Roth Account Taxable? for information on determining whether a distribution from your Roth IRA is taxable.
Why do you report Roth IRA on taxes?
Roth IRAs provide after-tax savings, which means you won’t get a tax benefit for your contributions like you would with a standard IRA. Because the donation does not reduce your taxable income, it is not shown as a deduction on your tax return. Instead, you’ll disclose it when you take distributions, which will be tax-free if you’re eligible. When the account is at least five tax years old and you’re either 59 1/2, chronically incapacitated, or taking out up to $10,000 for your first house, you can take a qualified distribution.

Do you get 1099 for Roth IRA?
Only if a distribution (withdrawal) was made during the year will a Form 1099-R be sent. This includes Traditional, Roth, and SEP IRAs. In May, you will receive a Form 5498 documenting any contributions (deposits) you made to your IRA account during the tax year. You will not receive tax paperwork for your retirement account if you made no contributions and took no payouts throughout the year.
You can contribute to an IRA or Roth IRA account for the previous year until the April tax filing deadline, so these forms won’t be accessible until the end of May or potentially later, but any IRA or Roth IRA donations should still be included when filing your taxes. More information about Form 5498 for IRAs can be found here.

Thiel, interestingly, did not use the backdoor Roth IRA conversion. Instead, he could form a Roth IRA since he made less than $74,000 the year he opened his Roth IRA, which was below the income criteria at the time, according to ProPublica.
However, he utilized his Roth IRA to purchase stock in his firm, PayPal, which was not yet publicly traded. According to ProPublica, Thiel paid $0.001 per share for 1.7 million shares, a sweetheart deal. According to the publication, the value of his Roth IRA increased from $1,700 to over $4 million in a year.

What is the 5 year rule for Roth IRA?
The Roth IRA is a special form of investment account that allows future retirees to earn tax-free income after they reach retirement age.
There are rules that govern who can contribute, how much money can be sheltered, and when those tax-free payouts can begin, just like there are laws that govern any retirement account and really, everything that has to do with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To simplify it, consider the following:
- The Roth IRA five-year rule states that you cannot withdraw earnings tax-free until you have contributed to a Roth IRA account for at least five years.
- Everyone who contributes to a Roth IRA, whether they’re 59 1/2 or 105 years old, is subject to this restriction.
