The custodian’s gross distribution is reported on Form 1099-R, along with the amount that is taxable. This information is used by the plan owner to complete lines 15 and 16 of Form 1040. Only if federal income tax is withheld in box 4 of Form 1099-R is Copy B of Form 1099-R attached to Form 1040.

Can you deduct IRA contributions in 2020?
Depending on your income, you may be able to deduct some or all of your contributions even if you have a company-sponsored retirement plan. The amount of income you can have and still get a full or partial deduction for IRA contributions in 2020 is higher than it was in 2019. For the 2020 tax year, single filers with modified adjusted gross income of $65,000 or less and joint filers with income of up to $104,000 can deduct their entire contribution. Once income reaches $75,000 for single taxpayers and $124,000 for joint filers, deductions begin to dwindle and eventually disappear.

Do I need to keep form 5498?
Because the custodian delivers a copy to both you and the IRS, you don’t need to file this form with your tax return. However, it’s critical to double-check the document for flaws. Mari Adam, a certified financial planner in Boca Raton, Fla., has seen a number of errors that plan custodians have had to correct, including classifying an IRA contribution as a rollover (which could cause a problem if you took a tax deduction for the contribution). Another client combined numerous retirement plans and rolled them into an IRA, but the rollover was not reflected on the 5498.
“If your tax return does not match the 5498 or 1099-R filed with the IRS, you may face an IRS investigation,” Adam warns. She advises contacting the custodian as soon as possible and requesting that the custodian deliver a corrected form to the IRS.
Keep Form 5498 on hand in case you need to change custodians or look up information on previous donations. “Normally, your custodian will keep these forms online for ten years, but if you change custodians or delete accounts, you may lose access to the online forms,” Adam explains. Remember to complete Form 8606, which keeps track of the cumulative basis in your IRAs, if you make non-deductible IRA contributions, so you don’t end up paying extra taxes when you withdraw the money.
