Conversion from IRA to Roth IRA is taxable. I had some nondeductible IRA contribution before Roth IRA available. So when I did some IRA conversion, the nondeductible part of traditional IRA had been tracked with Form 8606, and the taxable amount reduced. I wonder if I can skip this tracking for a year or two, and pay the full tax for Roth conversion.
For example, I have IRA conversion in 2016, and I want to skip the 8606 form, and pay the full tax for the Roth conversion in year 2016. If I convert to Roth IRA in 2017 I want to track nondeductible IRA again, I would use the previous year's 8606 form (for tax year 2015 in this case), as the Total Basis in Traditional IRAs. Does it work this way?
Thanks for any advice.

Advice: it doesn't work that way; you can't do that.
You must file a Form 8606 when your traditional IRA with basis is converted in whole or in part to a Roth. The form is used to calculate the taxable amount of the conversion.
