If your 2017 year end value of all Traditional IRA accounts was zero (you converted it all), then the combined basis of $16,500 should offset $16,500 of the 1099-R box 1 $17,598 amount leaving $1,098 at taxable income.
In that case the 8606 line 6 should be zero and the taxable amount on line 15c.
The 1099-R box 1 should be on the 1040 form line 15a and the taxable amount ($1,098) on line 15b.
