@redup No, you must mail them a copy.....(though sometimes they provide a FAX telephone number, if you know how to FAX it ). Read their instructions carefully. Sometimes they want a copy of the letter they sent you too...And make sure you keep copies of both for yourself.
Sometimes they ask for this because either:
1) They think you mistyped something abut VA withholding
or
2) They didn't get a copy themselves from the provider of that 1099-R yet.
Have seen one other post here in the forum about a 1099-R provider who did not yet send the state, whatever electronic notifications for all their 1099-R forms to the state(s) involved. Kind-of late, but it's possible.
