How to input IRA contributions and backdoor roth that is made in 2018 but for 2017 ?

I made 2017 IRA contribution in 2018 April, and I made a 2018 contribution as well in 2018 June. I convert both to Roth IRA. All contribution are non-tax deferred. so I have a 1099-R of 11000 .

I followed this question, https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3582070-backdoor-roth-ira-contribution

 When I import 1099-r, it said "Good news, you don't owe extra tax based on box 7 entry, but my taxes due rose by $1500.

When I force change the 1099-r to 5500, there is no tax rose. My questions is how can I input the amount that I contributed for 2017 in year 2018?
