Nor does it show how much of the distributions went to QCD's.  IRS can choose to audit a sample of returns that show a rollover property reported (Line 4a with total, Line 4b with taxable) but it does not use the CP-2000 program for that. If the taxpayer just ignores the 1099-R and shows nothing on the return, a notice will be generated.  

Some common sense is needed here, on IRS capabilities for document matching.  And you can find in the Internal Revenue Manual 4.19.3.8.10.4 (10-07-2019)
Rollovers, the instructions for examiners to look at the 5498 (with no instructions, to correspond with the taxpayer asking for payment dates).  One glitch that may occur is if the distribution is in one calendar year and the 5498 deposit doesn't show up until the following year:

  1. Taxpayers may partially rollover retirement plans reported on Form 1099-R. Consider a distribution to be partially rolled over when all the following apply:

    1. the taxpayer enters the "GR/A" amount on the gross return lines,

    2. a lesser amount on the corresponding taxable line,

    3. a 5498 IR is present with the literal "ROLVR" or "FMV" in the INCOME TYPE field AND

    4. has an amount that ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡

     

  2. If a 5498 IR with either "ROLVR" or "FMV" is not present to substantiate the rollover (see (6) above), consider the Form 1099-R distribution partially U/R when the taxpayer enters the GR/A amount on the gross return lines, reports a lesser amount on the corresponding taxable return lines.

If And Then
The net amount (GR/A minus W/H) is greater than or equal to the TX/A amount on the IR There is an indication of a rollover (per (5) above) Consider the issue resolved.
The GR/A and the TX/A amount on the IR are the same The GR/A is reported on the gross pension line of the return (see IRM 4.19.3.8.10, and the difference between the IR and the Form 5498 equals the W/H amount and there is no indication that the taxpayer supplemented the rollover amount to account for the W/H and the amount reported on the taxable pension and annuities line of the return (see IRM 4.19.3.8.10, does not match the W/H on the IR Consider the difference between the W/H on the IR and the TX/A amount reported as U/R. Send PARAGRAPH 49, (see Exhibit 4.19.3-7, CP PARAGRAPHS) when pursuing the W/H as U/R TX/A from the same IR.
