My employer submitted my IRA information on a 1099-MISC form.  The investment company sent me a Form 5498. Do I submit the information on my return twice?

    A Form 5498 is an informational form only.  It is not entered anywhere on a tax return.

    The 1099 MISC form shows the contribution as miscellaneous income.  I've entered the amount from the the 5498 on my return, do I still have to include the amount again as miscellaneous income?

    No.  The Roth IRA contribution is only entered once.
