In early 2020, I took my RMD.

I found later that year that RMDs were waived due to COVID.

Can I put that money back into my IRA and recover the taxes that were charged?

The deadline to do so was August 31, 2020.

if deposit was made before Aug 31, 2020

was that a repayment 5498 line 14 or a rollover 5498 line 2 ?

I read the instructions for Form 5498 as saying that if the redeposit was made during the 60 days following the date distribution was received it should be reported in box 2 as a rollover, otherwise in box 14a as a late rollover.
