Which tax forms can I expect from Wealthfront for a Roth conversion?

You'll receive two tax documents if you convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, and these forms will be posted to the Documents page on your dashboard. We’ll also remind you of an additional tax form that you may need to file directly.

  1. You'll receive a Form 1099-R for your traditional IRA. It will be coded as a rollover to a Roth IRA. 
  2. You’ll receive a Form 5498 for your Roth IRA. This form reports the value of the funds received and the value of the account at the end of the year. This form is generally for informational purposes only. The data doesn't have to appear anywhere on your tax return.
