Retirement tax questions

It does not matter where the money came from to complete the indirect rollover (money is fungible).    (For all they know, you closed another IRA account with another bank and are just rolling that money into this account).

 

Does not need to be a new account - you can roll it into any Traditional IRA account.

 

A 5489 form box 2 reports rollover contributions both direct and indirect.
