You can type all of the information from the 1099 into TurboTax directly - no need to import. You will not need to upload a PDF copy of the form to TurboTax. Generally you would just keep it with your records. If, for whatever reason, you need to provide a copy to the IRS, TurboTax will walk you through how to mail it. The IRS does typically get copies of the forms you receive, including the consolidated 1099.
