Nondeductible traditional IRA contributions became permissible beginning in 1987.  The maximum permissible annual contribution in 1987 through 2001 was $2,000, so $8,000 would represent at least 4 years of contributions, perhaps 1987 through 1991.  Nondeductible traditional IRA contributions have always been required to have been reported on Form 8606, so unless you have specific recollection of having filed those forms, you would probably have difficulty substantiating that you have such basis.   If you now claim the basis on Form 8606 and you get audited by the IRS, the IRS might disallow the use of the basis.   Any contributions made before 1987 could only have been deductible contributions which did not add and basis in nondeductible contributions and would not reduce the taxable amount of any distribution.

Unless you had health insurance from the marketplace   (aka "Obamacare" aka Affordable Care Act aka healthcare.gov) you do not need a form for insurance.    If you had marketplace insurance you must enter a 1095A.   Otherwise, when it asks if you have 1095A, say NO and just move on.
