Question about 401k to IRA Rollover
I requested a rollover check (so that I could rollover my 401k to an IRA) from Fidelity in late Dec and the rollover check was officially processed via Fidelity on Dec 29, 2023. As expected, the check took several business days to arrive via mail and when it did, I went to my IRA custodian to deposit this rollover check. My new IRA custodian informed me that they processed this rollover check for the date of today (Jan 11, 2024) and that it's processed as a 2024 rollover. From a tax perspective/IRS forms-perspective, is there any issue with the fact that my 1099 (that I'm expecting to receive in a month or so) that I'm going to receive for the 2023 tax year will have a section that indicates that there is a rollover that has been processed, but that I won't have any 'tax document' to show the IRS that I made the rollover to my IRA custodian (since my new IRA custodian processed the rollover until 2024) by the time I file my taxes by April 15, 2024? I'm assuming that the IRS would be expecting a form that would show or indicate that I subsequently rolled over my 401k check from Fidelity into an IRA, but I don't think the 5498 from my IRA custodian will arrive by the time I file my 2023 taxes.
