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
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.
