The Internal Revenue Service has released the 2019 versions of Forms 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, and Related Schedules, as well as the 2018 redesigned Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and related schedules.
Distributions from IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans, as well as direct rollovers between workplace plans and IRAs, are reported on Form 1099-R. Annual contributions to an IRA, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA plan, as well as rollovers, fair market value, Roth IRA conversions, if required minimum distributions are due for Traditional and SIMPLE IRA owners, and other information are reported on Form 5498. The separate 2019 Instructions for Forms 1099-R and 5498 have yet to be provided by the IRS.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued the 2018 version of Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, as well as the 2018 Form 1040 Instructions and associated schedules. In earlier years, many modifications to taxable income were accounted for on a thorough Form 1040, but the IRS has switched to a simplified basic Form 1040 with a variety of extra schedules. According to the instructions, Forms 1040A and 1040-EZ are no longer available for filing 2018 income tax returns, and taxpayers who previously filed one of these forms may now file Form 1040.
IRA, pension, and annuity payments, including rollovers, will be reported on Lines 4a and 4b of the 2018 Form 1040, rather than the prior Lines 15 and 16.
Six new schedules have been added to the 2018 Form 1040, and the schedule instructions can be found in the Form 1040 Instructions. To claim certain additional income, tax credits, and taxes owed for retirement and other savings accounts, the following new schedules will be needed.
- Schedule 1, Additional Income and Adjustments to Income, is used to claim tax deductions for IRAs and health savings accounts, among other things (HSAs).
- Education credits, the IRA and retirement plan savings contribution credit (saver’s credit), and some other credits will be claimed on Schedule 3, Nonrefundable Credits.
- The additional penalty taxes owing for early payouts and excess contributions for IRAs, retirement plans, Coverdell ESAs, Archer MSAs, HSAs, and ABLE accounts will be claimed on Schedule 4, Other Taxes.

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.

Note: This article discusses the 2018 IRA deduction income restrictions, which will effect your 2019 tax return. If you’re looking for the 2017 IRA income limits, which effect the deduction you may be able to claim on your 2018 tax return, go here.
Contributions to an IRA may be tax deductible up to the yearly contribution limit, which is $5,500 in 2018 and $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. Even better, because this is a “above-the-line” deduction, you can benefit even if you don’t itemize. And, given all of the tax reform options we’ve seen so far keep the tax benefits of retirement savings, the IRA deduction doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon.
The type of IRA you’re contributing to, your adjusted gross income (AGI), and whether you’re able to enroll in your employer’s retirement plan all affect your eligibility for the IRA tax deduction.
