  Sure! Form 5498 is an information return that reports contributions made to individual retirement arrangements (IRAs). It is important to note that cryptocurrency investments held within an IRA may require the filing of form 5498. On the other hand, form 1099-R is used to report distributions from pensions, annuities, retirement plans, or profit-sharing plans. If you receive a distribution from a cryptocurrency investment held within one of these plans, you may need to report it using form 1099-R.
