Retirement tax questions

If the taxable amount in box 2a is $0 (or less than $0.50 such that it rounds down to $0), you can just ignore the form and just explain the circumstances to the IRS in the unlikely event that they question the contribution or distribution.  With a taxable amount of $0, the only thing that should have been included with your 2018 tax return is that explanation.
