After you file

If you filed a 8606 with your tax return showing a non-deductible contribution on line 1 and you did not make any contribution then you need to file a new 8606 amending the first with the correct amount (zero if zero) on line 1 with an attached explanation.     The amended 8606 can be filed (mailed)  by itself.
