If you didn't file Form 8606 for prior years then you can file Form 8606 on a standalone basis, even past the usual three-year limit for requesting a refund.
There can be a penalty of $50 for not filing Form 8606 on a timely basis, but the penalty can be waived if you can show reasonable cause for not filing. File these delinquent forms separately from your tax return.
Please see Prior year Form 8606 and instructions and this information for suggestions regarding “reasonable cause.”
