We borrowed from our IRAs to purchase our new house prior to selling our old one. We paid back the IRAs in the designated time period.
We have now received distributions on 1099-R and Form 5498 that equal the amounts we distributed.
my question, since we paid it back do we need to show the 1099-Rs and Form 5498s on our return?
Only the 1099-R needs to be reported on your tax return.
You don't need to enter information from your Form 5498 (IRA Contribution Information) into TurboTax. Keep Form 5498 with your records for future reference when you need to determine the end of year value or your non-deductible investment basis of your IRA accounts.

Thank you...will this not show as income on our return? Since it was a wash, how do we show that on our tax return?

As you enter the 1099R for the IRA distributions, the program will ask questions to determine how the money should be taxed and if it should be taxed.
As usual, I received 1099R forms for each of my two Valic annuities, but this year I also received a Form 5498 for one of them. What is this form? Do I enter it in my tax reform? Where?
"Form 5498: IRA Contributions Information reports your IRA contributions to the IRS. Your IRA trustee or issuer - not you - is required to file this form with the IRS by May 31. ... You won't find this form in TurboTax, nor do you file it with your tax return. The copy you receive in the mail is a copy for your records."

I took a withdraw from my 401k, which I received a 1099R for. It was put into an IRA, not a Roth IRA. I only have a 5498 for the money being put into the IRA. Shouldn't I be able to say it wasn't an early withdraw, but rather a transfer from one qualified plan to another?

Did you have a code 1, 2 or 7 in box 7? The question would have been asked what did you do with the money. And you should have indicated that you moved to another retirement account.
Or was it a code G? Then there would not a question asked for what you did with the money since the code G is a rollover.
I received a 1099r after I filed. From the new 401k investor that I forgot about. I have tried to fill out a 1040x. But when I get to the company it will not take my username and password. It does take it at the investor site?

Turbo Tax never asked me what I did with the 401K Distribution. By putting a "G" in Box 7, I am saying it was rolled over into a qualified plan. However, the after tax contribution to the 401K, about 3% of the total, was placed into a Roth IRA. But when I entered this into Turbo Tax, I went from a refund to owing $239,000!
If I don't mention the after tax money going to the Roth IRA, the refund reappears, but the full distribution still appears on Line 4c of 1040 form. I am worried about how this looks.

Is the after-tax contributions in box 5 on the 1099-R?
Is box 2a a 0 (zero)?
Was the before tax money rolled to a Traditional IRA?
If you only have one 1099-R with a code G then TurboTax does not support splitting it to two different destinations - it must be entered as two 1099-R's.
No. The after tax contribution to the 401(k), about 3% of the total, was rolled over into a Roth IRA. The major portion rolled into a traditional IRA. Only one 1099R, but two separate 5498's were submitted to the IRS.

Again, what code is in box 7 on the 1099-R?
What is in box 2a,
What is in box 5?
I can tell you how to enter it but need to know that.
The permitted Roth contribution for 2019 is 7000 if you are over 65; I am over 65; my schedule C income was over $10,000 with over $500 in W2 income, so my total earned income was way higher than $7,000. Therefore on April 2, I contributed $7,000 to my Roth for 2019; but when I put $7,000 into field for Roth Contributions in 2019 TTax it calculated that $3,500 was "disallowed" and added tax on this. Why is $3,500 disallowed under this circumstance?

It is your net self-employed income minus the deductible part of the SE tax. Usually Schedule 1 line 3 minus line 14 plus W-2 box 1 minus W-2 box 11. Your total MAGI must also be under the limit. You also cannot file a Married Filing Separate tax return or the MAGI limit is $10,000 if you lived with your spouse.
The most you can contribute to all of your traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of:
For 2018, $5,500, or $6,500 if you’re age 50 or older by the end of the year; or
your taxable compensation for the year.
For 2019, $6,000, or $7,000 if you’re age 50 or older by the end of the year; or
your taxable compensation for the year.
(Taxable compensation is generally wages that you worked for - W-2 or net self-employed income minus the deducible part of the SE tax, but can include commissions, certain alimony and separate maintenance, and nontaxable combat pay ).
See IRS Pub 590A "What is compensation" for details:
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p590a#en_US_2018_publink1000230355
See this IRS article for Roth contribution limits:
https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/roth-iras
I withdrew $5k in January 2019 from my Traditional IRA. I returned the entire amount in February 2019 back into the same account . Then in May 2019 I withdrew $6k less Fed. . This money was spent.
My 1099R now reads $11K withdrawn as taxable and $1200 FT withheld. My broker calls it a rollover and claims a form #5498 may be issued.
For right now I am befuddled as to how and where to deduct the $5k repaid. It looks as if there is a penalty involved
When you enter the 1099-R, there are several screens that follow. On the screen with the heading "What did you do with the money from [plan name]?", check the line with "[your name] moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account)". No, this is not obvious.
Checking the top will expose three new lines. Check the box "[your name] did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out the money".
This will expose two new boxes. in the top box ("Amount rolled over to another (or back to the same) retirement account"), enter the amount of the distribution that you put back in the IRA. This part will appear on line 4a but not 4b on the 1040 because it will not be taxable.
The rest of the distribution will appear in line 4b as taxable.

No, this is not a change. The IRS Form 5498 is an informational form only and is not entered on tax return.

You thought you entered what last year?
(This thread has wandered to several different topics.)
Hi,
I have the situation where:
Only one 1099R, but two separate 5498's were submitted to the IRS.
- 1 5498 with IRA type : IRA (pretax amount rolled over to a Rollover IRA)
- 1 5498 with IRA type: Roth IRA (the amount rolled over to a Roth IRA)
On the 1099R form, I have values in box 1, 2a (a small pretax amount rollover Roth IRA), 5 and box 7 with G.
How can I specify the pretax amount that is rollover to a Rollover IRA ? I have only 1 1099R.
Thanks.
