Why don't my contributions show up on my W2?

Minnesota Secure Choice acts as a payroll deduction IRA, not a retirement plan as defined for the W2, so you won't see your contributions reflected on your W2. Your IRA trustee will file Form 5498 IRA Contributions Information with the IRS, and you will receive a copy no later than May 31. You do not need to file this form with your taxes, but you should keep it with your tax records as documentation of your contributions for a particular tax year.
