New York - You should keep the following IRA records:
-
Documentation of your contributions and any withdrawals
-
Documentation of any transfers between IRA accounts or from retirement plans such as 401k plans.
-
IRS Form 1040 (tax return)
-
IRS Form 8606 (shows deductible and nondeductible contributions).
-
IRS Form 5498 (shows the amount of contributions you made each year and the value of your IRA)
Because you are not creating a taxable event, you generally do not need to keep track of transactions that merely shifts money around within your IRA account.
