5498 IRA tax information

When IRA contributions, rollovers, conversions, or recharacterizations are applied to your accounts in a given tax year, Form 5498 will report this information to the IRS.

Who will receive it

Shareholders who made contributions, rollovers or recharacterizations to their traditional, SEP, Simple or Roth IRAs, or who made Roth IRA conversions.

If no contributions are made for the year, a 5498 tax form will still produce including only the fair market value (FMV) of your account; use either this tax form or your Dec. 31st year-end statement to obtain the fair market value of your account.

When it will be mailed

For traditional and Roth IRAs, with contributions, conversions, or rollovers, Thrivent Mutual Funds will mail no later than January 31.

IRA contributions made between January 1 and the tax due date of the current year as a contribution for the previous tax year will generate a corrected 5498 tax form in the current year that will be mailed by May 31.

If you want to make IRA contributions for the prior tax year, it must be postmarked by your tax return due date (generally April 15) and designated as a contribution for the previous year.

For SEP or SIMPLE IRAs contributions from your employer, forms will be sent out in January.

What information is included
  • Contributions to Traditional IRAs and Roth IRA Rollovers made to IRAs
  • Conversions from a Traditional IRA, SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA or qualified rollover contribution from an eligible retirement plan (other than IRA) to a Roth IRA
  • SEP and SIMPLE IRA contributions made through the employer during the calendar year
  • Indications whether the IRA is subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs) in the following year
  • Fair market value of IRAs as of Dec. 31
  • Recharacterizations (changing or undoing a Traditional IRA contribution from a Roth IRA contribution or vice versa)
  • Special postponed contributions (Allied Force, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and taxpayers affected by federally designated disaster areas)
  • Repayment of a qualified reservist distribution or a designated disaster distribution repayment
How to use it

Use Form 5498 to confirm amounts you need to report on your tax return related to contributions and rollovers.

Box 11 indicates if your account is subject to minimum distribution requirements for the upcoming year.
