Question

I received a form 5498 for the tax year 2020, showing an amount on line 7, do I need to amend my tax return for the tax year 2020?

This amount was listed on line 5, not line 7. Do I need to pay any federal or state taxes on this amount?

Form 5498 is for information only.

If that form reminds you that you left something off your tax return, then you would file an amendment to add that.
