The mysterious and somewhat confusing IRS form 5498 is now available electronically and may soon be making its voyage to your mailbox.
This tax form is one of the most confusing forms for everyone as it appears to come late in the tax season, however this is by design. Form 5498 reconciles with the IRS the following, although not in entirety:
- Rollovers
- Account balances
- IRA/Qualified related tax issues
It arrives late in the season so as not to confuse you during the heat of the tax season and after regular April deadlines. Granted, it eventually does confuse, but that is another story.
Do not worry that you are just now receiving this form. Just drop this form into your fresh new file for your 2012 taxes records and you are done!
