Hi,  I have 8606 for 95 and 96 to report. Do I send both forms in the same envelope and how should I send the letter so that I know  they receive my letter. Thanks   ... View more

I did not know that i have to file form 8606 when i make non deductible contribution in 1994 and 95 ( total $4000). I did not contribute any more since then. However in 2017, I was advised to file form 8606 year 2017 to report the the prior basis ($4000 ) since i never did before. First I understand now that I have to file 2 correct year 8606 ( 94 and 95) , but still unclear if i need to send along with 1040X year 94 and 95 to amend the mistake.   Second,  do I make a mistake again by sending the 2017 year 8606 to report the previous basis?  If so how do I correct my second mistake?  Do I need to send 1040X year 2017 stating in part iii " error in reporting 8606 form".  Or should I just send the  8606 year 94 and 95 and leave the 2017 tax form as is?   Third, how should i send all those forms, mail all in one envelop or mail them separately Thanks to you all!   ...

Is it required to file 1040X  and send with 8606 form for each year it is missed? I have the same problem and one of the IRS help on line advise to file 1040X along with 8606 form.  Thanks for your suggestion   ... View more
