In general, you do not have to report either contributions to or qualified withdrawals from a Roth IRA to the IRS. Qualified withdrawals include withdrawals made after 59½ and 5 years after your first contribution to your Roth IRA, as well as hardship withdrawals.

The IRS requires you to report nonqualified distributions from a Roth IRA, as well as Roth IRA conversions using Form 8606, Nondeductible IRAs. This form will help you determine the portion of the withdrawal that is taxable. Additionally, your financial institution will report your Roth IRA contributions using Form 5498, IRA Contribution Information.
