Did you contribute to an IRA account for retirement this year? Let’s identify any tax savings you may get from your contributions on this edition of Tax Tips by TurboTax.
If you contributed to an IRA account, you should receive Form 5498 from the organization that manages it. This form includes information about your IRA contributions for the previous tax year, which can help you determine if the contributions are deductible when filing your taxes this year.
Box 1 of Form 5498 reports the total contributions made to your traditional IRA. Depending on your income and other factors, some or all of this amount might be deductible on your tax return.
But what about other types of IRA accounts?
Only contributions to a traditional IRA may qualify for a tax deduction right now. However, when you retire and start making withdrawals, you must report these withdrawals on your tax return and pay the tax on them.
Your contributions to a Roth IRA, shown in Box 10 of Form 5498, aren’t deductible right now either.
Instead, Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars—meaning that you already paid tax on the money used to make these contributions. So, during retirement, your withdrawals from a Roth IRA are tax-free.
