Instructions for Participant
The information on Form 5498 is submitted to the Internal Revenue Service by the
trustee or issuer of your individual retirement arrangement (IRA) to report
contributions, including any catch-up contributions, required minimum distributions
(RMDs), and the fair market value (FMV) of the account. For information about IRAs,
see Pubs. 590-A, 590-B, and 560.
Participant’s taxpayer identification number. For your protection, this form may
show only the last four digits of your SSN, ITIN, ATIN, or EIN. However, the trustee or
issuer has reported your complete identification number to the IRS.
Account number. May show an account or other unique number the trustee or issuer
assigned to distinguish your account.
Box 1. Shows traditional IRA contributions for 2017 you made in 2017 and through
April 17, 2018. These contributions may be deductible on your Form 1040 or 1040A.
However, if you or your spouse was an active participant in an employer’s pension
plan, these contributions may not be deductible. This box does not include amounts in
boxes 2–4, 8–10, 13a, and 14a.
Box 2. Shows any rollover, including a direct rollover to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA, or a
qualified rollover contribution (including a military death gratuity, SGLI payment, or qualified
settlement income) to a Roth IRA you made in 2017. It does not show any amounts you
converted from your traditional IRA, SEP IRA, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA. They are shown in
box 3. It does not show any late rollover contributions. They are shown in box 13a. See the
Form 1040 or 1040A instructions for information on how to report rollovers. If you have ever
made any nondeductible contributions to your traditional IRA or SEP IRA and you did not roll
over the total distribution, use Form 8606 to figure the taxable amount. If property was rolled
over, see Pub. 590-A. For a qualified rollover to a Roth IRA, also see Pub. 590-A.
Box 3. Shows the amount converted from a traditional IRA, SEP IRA, or SIMPLE IRA
to a Roth IRA in 2017. Use Form 8606 to figure the taxable amount.
Box 4. Shows amounts recharacterized from transferring any part of the contribution
(plus earnings) from one type of IRA to another. See Pub. 590-A.
Box 5. Shows the FMV of all investments in your account at year end. However, if a
decedent’s name is shown, the amount reported may be the FMV on the date of
death. If the FMV shown is zero for a decedent, the executor or administrator of the
estate may request a date-of-death value from the financial institution.
Box 6. Shows for endowment contracts only the amount allocable to the cost of life
insurance. Subtract this amount from your allowable IRA contribution included in box 1
to compute your IRA deduction.
Box 7. May show the kind of IRA reported on this Form 5498.
Boxes 8 and 9. Shows SEP (box 8) and SIMPLE (box 9) contributions made in 2017,
including contributions made in 2017 for 2016, but not including contributions made in
2018 for 2017. If made by your employer, do not deduct on your income tax return. If
you made the contributions as a self-employed person (or partner), they may be
deductible. See Pub. 560.
Box 10. Shows Roth IRA contributions you made in 2017 and through April 17, 2018.
Do not deduct on your income tax return.
Box 11. If the box is checked, you must take an RMD for 2018. An RMD may be
required even if the box is not checked. If you do not take the RMD for 2018, you are
subject to a 50% excise tax on the amount not distributed. See Pub. 590-B for details.

Box 12a. Shows the date by which the RMD amount in box 12b must be distributed to
avoid the 50% excise tax on the undistributed amount for 2018.
Box 12b. Shows the amount of the RMD for 2018. If box 11 is checked and there is no
amount in this box, the trustee or issuer must provide you the amount or offer to
calculate the amount in a separate statement by January 31, 2018.
Box 13a. Shows the amount of a late rollover contribution made in 2017 and certified by
the participant, or a postponed contribution made in 2017 for a prior year.
Box 13b. Shows the year to which the postponed contribution in box 13a was credited.
If a late rollover contribution is shown in box 13a, this box will be blank.
Box 13c. For participants who made a postponed contribution due to an extension of the
contribution due date because of a federally designated disaster, shows the code FD.
For participants who served in designated combat zones, qualified hazardous duty
areas, or in direct support areas, shows the appropriate code. The codes are:
EO13239 for Afghanistan and associated direct support areas, EO12744 for the
Arabian Peninsula areas, and EO13119 (or PL106-21) for the Yugoslavia operations
areas. For additional information, including a list of locations within the designated
combat zones, qualified hazardous duty areas, and direct support areas, see Pub. 3.
For updates to the list of locations, go to www.irs.gov/form5498.
For a participant who has used the self-certification procedure for a late rollover
contribution, shows the code SC.
Box 14a. Shows the amount of any repayment of a qualified reservist distribution or
federally designated disaster withdrawal repayment. See Pub. 590-A for reporting
repayments.
Box 14b. Shows the code QR for the repayment of a qualified reservist distribution or
code DD for repayment of a federally designated disaster distribution.
Box 15a. Shows the FMV of the investments in the IRA that are specified in the
categories identified in box 15b.
Box 15b. The following codes show the type(s) of investments held in your account for
which the FMV is required to be reported in box 15a.
A—Stock or other ownership interest in a corporation that is not readily tradable on an
established securities market.
B—Short- or long-term debt obligation that is not traded on an established securities market.
C—Ownership interest in a limited liability company or similar entity (unless the
interest is traded on an established securities market).
D—Real estate.
E—Ownership interest in a partnership, trust, or similar entity (unless the interest is
traded on an established securities market).
F—Option contract or similar product that is not offered for trade on an established
option exchange.
G—Other asset that does not have a readily available FMV.
H—More than two types of assets (listed in A through G) are held in this IRA.
