5498 IRA Tax Information
Who Gets 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, use your Dec. 31 year-end statement to obtain the fair market value of your account.
|
When It's Mailed |
For traditional and Roth IRAs, if you’ve already contributed, Thrivent Mutual Funds targets mail dates by January 31st. IRA contributions made between Jan. 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 15th) 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.
