Since I never filed a 2016 form 8606 (because turbotax failed to generate one) and I am preparing a 8606 for the first time, do i have to check the little box asking if this is an "amended return" ?
If not filed then it is an original 8606, not amended. Be sure you mail a 2016 8606 form. The 2016 non-deductible contribution should be on line 1. Any carry forward non-deductible contributions on line 2, the total of line 1 & 2 on line and line 14 (if there was also no 2016 IRA distribution).
