Every time i go to ck the taxes to make sure it is ok it keeps  telling me....it is not between prescribed limits. and its taking about 9a and 9b. and there is nothing in either box both blank.  so should i ignore it and file it anyway or what.

You won't be able to e-file if there is an error in the program. If both entries are blank and that is what you entered, you should delete the form 1099 entry and re-enter it.

I did that twice and it still keeps coming up. do not know what to do.

If you transferred the Form 1099-R in from the payer electronically, delete the 1099-R form from TurboTax and enter it manually.  Electronic transfers into TurboTax sometimes contain non-displayable characters that are erroneous but are not visible when TurboTax displays them.

I entered my 1099R manually with a 0 in block 9a because my 1099R has a 0 there. Turbotax will not allow that. It places 0.01 to be accepted. When I leave 0.01 there and continue thru the steps it still says this has to be reviewed.

surferrick, leave box 9a blank.

[Critter-3]

Correct ... leave the box BLANK as zero is not a valid entry in that box.

Block 9a is the percentage of your distribution.  You can simply leave it blank.  That should allow you to move forward.
