Looking through the return I filed early this year for tax year 2016, I discovered that Form 8606 was not filed with return that showed an amount that I converted from a Rollover IRA to a Roth. The Rollover IRA has no after tax $ so entire conversion was taxable. The converted amount was included on Line 15A of 1040, and tax was paid. I have documentation from financial institution showing $ transferred from Rollover IRA to Roth IRA. I was older than 59.5 during tax year so no penalty ramifications.
From what I can read, it doesn't seem that filing an amended return just to include the missing Form 8606 serves any purpose. Is there a consequence of not filing the 8606 that I've not considered?
