By "this year" if you mean 2019, you won't get anything from the brokerage on it for tax purposes until you file your 2019 return "next" year. You have nothing to report concerning this on your 2018 return.
You need a the 1099-R from the 401(k) plan administrator. The 5498 that Ameriitrade will send is information only.
I received the 1099R from the 401K administrator. The 5498 I will not get until May 2019
