Form 5329 must be filed by taxpayers with retirement plans or education savings accounts who owe an early distribution or another penalty. The form must be submitted with a taxpayer's annual tax return—Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. Taxpayers who do not file the form could end up owing more in penalties and taxes.

If you take an early withdrawal from your IRA or 401(k), complete Part 1 or 2 of Form 5329 to calculate possible IRS penalties or request a penalty waiver. Use Form 5329 to report withdrawals from a 529 plan or Coverdell education savings account (ESA) not used to pay for qualified educational expenses.

If you do not have any other changes and have not previously filed a federal income tax return for the prior year, file the prior year's version of Form 5329 by itself (discussed earlier). If you have other changes, file Form 5329 for the prior year with Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Use Form 5329 to report additional taxes on IRAs, other qualified retirement plans, modified endowment contracts, Coverdell ESAs, QTPs, Archer MSAs, or HSAs.

IRA contributions will be reported on Form 5498: IRA contribution information is reported for each person for whom any IRA was maintained, including SEP or SIMPLE IRAs. An IRA includes all investments under one IRA plan.
