Retirement tax questions

Hi...

I failed to file 8606 for non-deductible IRA contributions for 1985, 1995 and 1996.  Where would I get Form 8606 for 1985?   

 

What could I use as a reasonable cause explanation to avoid the non-filing fee of $50?  I was preparing my taxes manually for these years and did not realize that I was required to file Form 8606.   I wonder what has been the experience of other people in this chat.   Must I include the $50 fee upon filing or do I wait to be billed by IRS?

 

thanks much
