Short Statement: Form 5498 is used by trustees and issuers to report contributions to, and the fair market value of, an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) Form 5498 and its instructions have been lengthened to accommodate statute changes to IRA contributions. The form now allows recipients of military death gratuities and Service members’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) payments to make rollover contributions to a Roth IRA (PL 110-245, sec 109), allows recipients of qualified settlement income received in connection with the Exxon Valdez litigation to make a rollover contribution to a traditional or Roth IRA (PL 110-343, Div C, sec 504), and allows certain payments made to qualified airline employees by commercial passenger airlines to be rolled over into a Roth IRA (PL 110-458, sec 125). The addition of three new boxes (13-15) will increase the reporting requirements, under the current ADL methodology, by approximately 12 minutes per response. However, the addition of these boxes will simplify the reporting burden on taxpayers by providing separate specific areas to report the various amounts as required by law and eliminating the need for taxpayers to file multiple forms. While simplifying the reporting areas for taxpayers the results of these various changes will ultimately increase the total estimated burden, as calculated under the ADL methodology by 30,867,371 hours. Under the ADL methodology, there is a 17,053,709 increase in burden attributable to changes in law. There is also an increase in burden of 13,813,662 hours attributable to updated filing estimates (increase of 33,691,859 estimated responses from 2008 filing figures).
