    5498 form

    Here’s what it’s for: 

    This form reports the contributions and/or rollover amounts paid into a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA or Simple IRA for the previous calendar year as well as other relevant tax information. Please note that, in most cases, you will receive this form only if you made a contribution or rollover for the reported tax year.

    Take a look at our most frequently asked questions:

    When is a 5498 issued?

    The IRS deadline for issuing Form 5498 is May 31. The filing deadline takes into account the fact that contributions to IRAs can be applied towards the prior tax year, provided that the contribution is made by the filing deadline (without extensions) for that year’s income tax returns, generally April 15 of the following year, however the April 15 deadline may be extended in the event of a weekend or holiday

    Who receives a 5498?

    The form is issued to the contract owner for the following qualified plans: Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs and Simple IRAs. It is not issued for qualified plans such as 403(b) plans, pension plans and 401(k) plans, or for non-qualified plans.

    Why did I not receive a 5498?

    You will not receive a 5498 form if you did not make any contributions or rollovers to your IRA for the tax year, if there were no other reportable transactions or information, if you do not have an IRA, or if we have an incorrect mailing address on file for your annuity contract.
