Backdoor roth conversion from a previous year traditional IRA limit

I made a non-deductible IRA contribution($5500) in February 2019 ,against 2018 traditional IRA limits. 

I made another non-deductible IRA contribution($6000) in November 2019 , against 2019 traditional IRA limit.

I converted the entire sum(11500) into a ROTH IRA via backdoor. 

I got a 1099-R which shows an amount of 11500 , and gain is 0$. 

However I get an error on turbo tax as below

 

Taxable Amount should not bbe zero if there is no prior year excess traditional IRA contribution on line 10b,2018 column , of the federal Carryover Worksheet.

 

Can someone help on how I should proceed. 

TT is not allowing me to e-FILe.
