I did receive my Form 5498 but after i filed my return.

Well, won't it benefit you taxwise?

If it is a deductible IRA contribution and/or it will get you the saver's credit you should amend as it is in your favor to do so.   

If it will be considered a non deductible traditional IRA contribution you MUST amend to populate the required form 8606.
