How do I compute a number for box 2a , my tax goes from negative to positive number if it stays blank. can you send me the steps for Simplified method or other

You do not need to compute the number for box 2a.  If it was left blank on your Form 1099-R, then that is the way you need to enter the 1099-R.

There will be follow-up questions after you enter the 1099-R that will ask you all the questions needed so that TurboTax can calculate the taxable portion.
