Traditional IRA transfer by custodian

Hello everyone,

The bank that held my traditional IRA no longer offers an IRA product and tranferrred our existing IRAs to another custodian in January of 2022.  I have not received any tax forms for this transfer from either institution.  This transaction was a direct rollover from one custodian to the other.  Is this transfer reportable on my 2022 taxes?

 

Thank you.

    This trustee-to-trustee transfer of your traditional IRA is not reportable.  It is neither a distribution nor a rollover, so it is correct that you received no Form 1099-R and the receiving IRA custodian should also not show this as a rollover.

    Hello dmertz,

     

    That was my understanding, but I've been wrong before.  Thank you so much for your help!
