Retirement tax questions

Nevermind....  Turbotax does complete 8606, I was filing an amended return and it told me there were no changes, but there actually were went I printed the forms.....

Why does turbotax ask if there were nondeductible contributions prior to 2016?  Would not a better question be "are there any non-deductible contributions in 2017"?

I did not have non deductible contributions in 2016 or prior but did in 2017.
