The 5498 forms are reported to the IRS by the brokerage. So, if you
over contribute, you may have problems.

Correct. You might need it if in the future you want to withdraw your
contributions (not earnings) without penalty before full retirement age.
The annual forms would document how much you contributed.

Default brokerage tax form 5498 for Roth IRA

my understanding, since I am funding a Roth IRA with after tax contributions and
staying within limits, there is nothing I need to do with the brokerage (vanguard)
provided form 5498 - is that correct ?

since everyone here likely has a roth ira, do you take any action on this form or just
"file it" ?
