A rollover is taking a distribution and putting it back into a retirement account within 6o days.   If it was a trustee-to-trustee transfer between banks then noting would be reported at all.   If you received a 1099-R for the rollover then you would answer the 1099-R questions that the money was rolled over.  Nothing whatsoever would be entered in the IRA contribution section because a rollover is not a new contribution.

It sounds like on the 2018 Tax return the rollover was mistakenly entered as a new IRA contribution and TurboTax treated at least $6,000 of that as an excess contribution.  You'll probably need to amend the 2018 tax return to remove the entry of the regular contribution not actually made, correct Form 5329 to remove this excess contribution not actually made, obtain a refund of the excess contribution penalty and correct the amount in that 2019 TurboTax shows as the excess contribution carried in from 2018.
