Good Afternoon! Great Question! Form 5498 is for informational purposes only. You aren't required to do anything with Form 5498. But... Please be sure to keep this form for your records as you may need this information to calculate your taxable income when you decide to take distributions from your IRA.

Form 5498 provides the total annual contributions to your IRA account and the type of account (ie traditional, Roth, SEP, etc). It is recommended that you review your tax return and confirm that you reported any deductible contributions accurately. If so, you can keep the form for your records. If you forgot to take a deduction for a traditional IRA contribution, or a SEP, or reported an incorrect amount, you can amend your tax filing.

This form will also report the fair market value of your IRA account. This is a great reference for you on this form: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/investments-and-taxes/what-is-irs-form-5498/L2P16IOdN
