Do I have to report an IRA transfer on my taxes?

Posted on: August 3, 2022

Since the money moves directly between custodians and is never placed in the accountholder’s hands, a transfer and direct rollover are non-taxable and non-reportable transactions.

However, an indirect rollover should be reported on your federal tax return. This is because you will be receiving the funds as a distribution before placing them into your other IRA. The distribution is reported on Form 1099-R and the rollover (deposit) is reported on Form 5498.

Everything from customer service to setting up my account to getting my money was A+. I would highly recommend doing business with them.

Madison Trust is that rare company where customer service is alive and well. No endless phone menus just to be routed to a call center somewhere overseas. Instead, your calls are answered by associates who have great communications skills and who really know their stuff! They are quick to answer any questions you may have and will make sure you are satisfied by the end of your call. It really is a pleasure to do business with this company.

Madison Trust has been great to work with. They’ve been responsive, helpful and I can actually talk to a real person when I need to. So refreshing these days.
