If you first enter the 2017 non-deductible contribution in the IRA contribution section and then enter the 1099-R, the followup interview after the 1999-R summary screen will ask for *prior* year non-deductible basis which would be your $11K (if not auto-populated with the carry over). The 2017 basis will be automatically applied.
Then you enter the total 2017 year end value of all Traditional, SEP and SIMPLE IRA's that existed.
On a new 8606 line 1 should have the $5.5K 2017 basis, lin2 2 the $11K carry-over basis, line 6 the year end total value, and lines 7-15 the tax calculations. Any remaining basis for the undistributed amount shown on line 6 will be on iine 14 to carry forward for future distributions.
