Deductions & credits

There is no need for you to have received Form 5498 before filing your tax return.  Form 5498 reports to the IRS what you should already know from the account statements and transaction records for an IRA that received the rollover.  Forms 5498 are often not generated by the IRA custodian until after the regular filing deadline for your tax return.  The custodian isn't going to send you the Form 5498 any earlier just because you ask for it.
