Retirement tax questions

A rollover contribution  is NOT a new contribution - it simply moves money form one account to another.  A new *contribution* is contributing new money from your wages to an IRA.

The 1099-R is what you must report.    The 5498 is just conformation that the rollover was received.  A rollover should be reported on line 2 on the 5498 form.
