After you file

You should file a Form 8606 for  2017 and 2018 (assuming your applied your 4/11/2019 contribution to 2018). You don't have to file an amended tax return, you can just file the Form 8606 by itself. 

 

Be sure to sign the form at the bottom of page two and use the correct year's form.

Technically you can be fined $50 for failing to file the form on time, but the penalty can be waived if you have reasonable cause.
