Late Arriving Tax Form (5498) Reminder, Friday Holiday Weekend, School is Out, Family Travels Next Week …

Posted on May 27, 2022 by John Kvale CFA, CFP | Leave a comment

FORM 5498 REMINDER

Form 5498 is headed to some of our mailboxes over the next weeks, here are some of the reasons why:

Rollover of a 401k or the like to an IRA – Most frequent
Contribution to an IRA
Contribution to a SEP

One of the most confusing parts of this form is that even though you may have made a qualified contribution for a prior year i.e. 2020, if you made that contribution in 2021, depending on the type of contribution the Form 5498 MAY show your contribution in year 2021.

Not to worry, the IRS knows there are frequently a seemingly miss match of years and accounts for this.

Here is the IRS information if you need further clarity.

Holiday Weekend

Monday is a Bank, Government, Capital Market and our Office holiday, honoring memorial day!

We happily Honor those Military … serving current, former, and no longer with us, for allowing us the safe world we live in now!

Schools Out and So are We – JK out Next Week

The kids are out as of noon today and our office will close mid-day too!

Next week, I will be out as well…

While not knowing the strength of Wifi in our destination, may be a bit more muted than normal!

Have a Great “Schools Out, Long Weekend” Day!

Financial Planning Tip(s)

Why Not to Overfund a Retirement Plan

In this updated post from a few years ago, we remind how easily it is to overfund a 401k plan and why, while it is not the end of the world, it is not a good tax situation….

Should you accidentally over fund your retirement plan … what occurs is a double taxation!

You do not get the deduction for the contribution
You will likely pay taxes on the eventual distribution

Job change is the most likely reason for overfunding!

Pesky Late Arriving Tax Form Reminder – Form 5498

In this mid month post we remind those of an extra late arriving tax form….

Murphy’s law being applied, the form just arrived last week….about two weeks after our post…..

Reason for receipt:

Rollover of a 401k or the like to an IRA – Most frequent
Contribution to an IRA
Contribution to a SEP

Capital Market Comments

Inflation or No Inflation

In this part two post, “The Smartest Guys in the Room” post we discussed via interest rate futures graphs the movement after FOMC dot plot adjustments and the interest rate markets….

This is an updated Graph of the 2 year US Treasury, which is holding lower, (higher yield) possibly due to faster expected rate increases!

This is the ultra long 30 Year Treasury, which continues to trend higher (lower Yield) possible pricing less inflation from the above mentioned expected shorter term rate increases!

Ok…that’s a wrap for the June review…. Hello July!

Have a Great Day, Talk to You at the End of July!

Reminder of Seemingly Odd Late Tax Statement – Form 5498 … FOMC Dot Plot Preview … Newsletter Update … Summer Friday YAY!

Posted on June 18, 2021 by John Kvale CFA, CFP | Leave a comment

Just when we happily said goodbye to a very long tax season due to the various extensions provided by the IRS, in comes a seemingly odd late tax form.

Form 5498 Reminder

Form 5498 is headed to some of our mailboxes over the next two to four weeks, again due to various extensions in the IRS filing due date, here are some of the reasons why:

Rollover of a 401k or the like to an IRA – Most frequent
Contribution to an IRA
Contribution to a SEP

Not to worry, the IRS knows there are frequently a seemingly miss match of years and accounts for this.

Here is the IRS information if you need further clarity.

FOMC Statement and Dot Plot Preview

Earlier this week the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) led by Jerome Powell, released their Economic analysis update along with a interview after a pre-prepared reading by Powell himself. The release, which also included the “dot plot”, which is an anonymous estimate by all the reserve members, voting and non voting on where they think the economy, is carefully scrutinized by all in the investment community.

We will take a deeper dive next week as there were some interesting cross currents post announcement and interview .. even with summer doldrums dragging along!

Newsletter Update

We are happily putting the final touches on the Newsletter, some of which partial pieces have been reviewed here, on our Blog, but with a longer Newsletter form we go into greater detail in our subject matters that we hope you will enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed creating.

Friday

Ahhhh…. But today is a Friday, for those that have been following… the rain has left us, the steam is subsiding from an abnormally fast early summer, the heat wave is reminding us why there is a saying in Texas:

“If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few it certainly will change!”

Have a great weekend, don’t forget to spend time with those special in your life and we will talk to you next week!

Financial Planning Tip –

Mysterious Form 5498

In a luckily timed post (two showed up in the mailbox the same day of the reminder) here we discussed the extra late arriving Form 5498.

This is a confusing settle up form that requires not action other that to add to your tax file in order to avoid unnecessary taxes!

Fraud Wire Delay Reminder

In this post we remind those setting up new Wire/Linking instructions to financial accounts, especially non liked titled accounts to be careful and have patience.

Fraudsters are attempting to take advantage of the situation!

Capital Market Comments

Gone Too Far

You know us to be very positive – all through the many negatives that have occurred !

You also know we will call it like we see it!

Markets have officially gone too far and are ahead of themselves, expect bumps and no extra risk taking is warranted at this time – CAREFUL!

Have a Great August Update!

Talk to you at the end of September!

Confusing Tax Form 5498 Coming to Your Mailbox if any Qualified/IRA Activities

Posted on May 6, 2019 by John Kvale CFA, CFP | Leave a comment

So we all trudged through the two decades of changed tax laws, and for the most part put them behind us … at least until extension filing deadline for some….

Just as we are forgetting about Forms, notifications, and tax documents, here comes one more!

Not to worry!

Form 5498 Reminder

The late arriving Tax Form 5498 can be confusing as it arrives seemingly late, but not to worry, its’ purpose is settlement …. Here at the Form 5498 IRS website it is noted as “An Info Copy Only” meaning this form is for our information only and no action is required.

So why does this form arrive so late?

Form 5498 captures movement into IRA/Qualified accounts and since we can contribute to IRA’s until the filing date of this year, they have chosen to have the form reported to them AFTER the regular April filing date to capture as many as possible this year contributions for last year….

Getting into the weeds for a moment as an example, if you roll over a 401k into your IRA Rollover… a Form 5498 will find its way to your mailbox …. not to worry, this seemingly late form settles up with the IRS in crazy accurate fashion one year later…showing them that you did NOT take the funds personally and absolving you of any tax burden.

Bottom line – This seemingly alarmingly late form needs to be tossed in your 2019 Tax File and kept for this years taxes, when we file in April of 2020!

Have a Great “No Alarming Tax Form” Day!

Late Arriving Tax Form 5498 AND Proxy Season Notice Reminder …

Posted on April 27, 2018 by John Kvale CFA, CFP | Leave a comment

With the eventual wave to tax season goodbye … oh wait … We need to remind you of ANOTHER form that will be coming soon.

Form 5498 Arrival Soon

This tax form limps into your mailbox and may cause an increase in blood pressure due to the instant though “Oh no, I forgot something?”

NOPE, not a worry. This form settles up your contributions, rollovers and values for your Qualified Assets ….. think IRA, SEP or 401k Rollover and the like.

It rolls in after tax season as it reports contributions for the current year to the IRS and they settle up the matching on their side for the appropriate year. Yet another neat thing the IRS does for us.

Proxy Season Coming

As a courtesy for clients and as a more GREEN Internal Policy we accept all Proxies for clients and vote. One Proxy statement which may be delivered to us electronically can handle literally hundreds of clients at once, saving the company a headache and lessening the duplication cost and waste.

Companies occasionally lose the directive to send us the material …. new recordkeeping, merging with another company or the like, are reasons, but no matter – If you are receiving proxy material please let us know and we will have information at the delivering company update their records, saving time and waste.

Looks to be a wonderful weekend here in the south … enjoy yours wherever you may be and …. Talk to you next week!
