Retirement tax questions

Was it deposited in an IRA at vanguard within 60 days of the check being issued?

 

Have you received a 5498 form from Vanguard?    If so then what line is the amount shown on?

 

All you really need to show the IRS is the 1099-R copy for the distribution and a Vanguard bank statement (or the 5498) showing that the money was deposited in an IRA within 60 days.

 

It IRS has been scrutinizing rollovers lately and since nothing on a 1099-R with a code 7 will tell then that the money was actually rolled over and you did just keep the money.
