How to generate form 8606-s

How to generate Form 8606-S.

Have generated Form 8606-T with inputs on distribution Form 1099-R.

Spouse has no distribution and thus no Form 1099-R on her IRAs.

If she had a basis, but no distribution, and no non-deductible contributions or Roth conversions, there is no need for Form 8606.

That's true @fanfare, thank you.  
@hovi3216 it never hurts to file it so the IRS always has a current record of your "after-tax" basis.
