Instructions for Form  
5498-ESA  
Coverdell ESA Contribution Information  
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code  
unless otherwise noted.  
Contributions. You must report contributions, including  
rollover contributions, to any Coverdell ESA on Form  
5498-ESA. See the instructions under Box 1 and Box 2,  
later. If no reportable contributions were made for 2024,  
no return is required.  
For contributions made between January 1, 2025, and  
April 15, 2025, trustees and issuers should obtain the  
participant's designation of the year for which the  
contributions are made.  
Rollovers and transfers. Report on Form 5498-ESA  
all rollovers, including a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer  
from one Coverdell ESA to another Coverdell ESA. A  
rollover can be made from certain U.S. Savings Bonds or  
another Coverdell ESA. The contribution of a military  
death gratuity to a Coverdell ESA is a rollover contribution.  
Any amount distributed from a Coverdell ESA may be  
rolled over to another Coverdell ESA and is not taxable if it  
is paid no later than the 60th day after the date of such  
payment or distribution into another Coverdell ESA for the  
benefit of the same beneficiary or a member of the  
beneficiary's family who has not attained age 30 as of  
such date. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any  
payment or distribution if it applied to any prior payment or  
distribution during the 12-month period ending on the date  
of the payment or distribution.

that year, you do not need to file Form 5498-ESA.  
Distributions. Report distributions from any Coverdell  
ESA on Form 1099-Q, Payments From Qualified  
Education Programs. Any change in the beneficiary of the  
Coverdell ESA is not treated as a distribution if the new  
beneficiary is a family member (see above) of the prior  
beneficiary and has not reached the age of 30 (except for  
a beneficiary with special needs).  
Statements to participants. If you are required to file  
Form 5498-ESA, you must furnish a statement to the  
beneficiary (participant) by April 30, 2025.
