How to code SEP IRA deposit for prior year?

The IRS requires that SEP IRA contributions be reported on form 5498 for the year they are actually deposited into the account, regardless of the year for which they are made. 

For tax filing purposes, the contributions may still be reported as prior year. Please consult a qualified tax advisor for proper reporting procedure.

This information can also be found on the IRS website.
