I have a check this entry. it says form 1099R box 9a is not between the prescribed upper and lower limits. box 9a on my form is blank. what does this mean?

Hi jsudberg01 - It sounds like an entry was made in box 9a on form 1099-R. You should return to that screen and remove the entry if it is not on the form 1099-R you received. To do so:

1. Click Tax Tools on the left hand side, then click Tools below it.
2. On the Tools Center popup, click the Topic Search button
3. Type "1099-R" in the box, then select 1099-r in the list and click GO
4. On the Your 1099-R Entries screen, click Edit next to the 1099-R that has the problem (or if you have more than one, and are not sure which one has the problem, go through each one to find it).
5. Remove the entry from Box 9a.

For what it's worth . . . .

I was able to import a 1099R form in TurboTax deluxe.  I also received a printed copy.  I got the error referenced on this post.  The amount in box 9a in TurboTax was 0.0.  When I checked the printed version, it was blank.  I blanked out the 0.0 on the 1099R and the error was resolved.
