Does the "Your total 2017 traditional IRA contributions" value include contributions that were technically made in 2017, but counted towards the 2016 $5500 limit?

On the "Tell Us How Much You Contributed" page, it asks for how "Your total 2017 traditional IRA contributions" are. Since I contributed towards my 2016 limit of $5500 technically in 2017, and then contributed $5500 towards my 2017 limit in 2017, I was wondering what value I should put for this question.

On the "Tell Us How Much You Contributed" page the contributions you made for 2017, enter only the $5,500 contribution that you made for 2017, not any contribution that was designated for 2016.
