Reporting IRA Contribution on a Tax Return

I'm hoping if you can clarify how IRA contributions need to be disclosed on a tax return. 

 

If I make a Roth IRA contribution (ie $2000), do I need to report the contribution amount on Form 8606?   I've received different opinions.  Thereafter, do I need to continue to disclose the accumulated Roth IRA contributions that I contribute every year on Form 8606 to disclose to the IRS?  So in Yr 2, I make another $2K contribution so I need to disclose accum $4K on Form 8606. 

 

Do the rules apply similiar to other IRA contributions like Traditional, and nondeductible contributions as well? 

 

Thank you.
