When you say paper statement do you mean brokerage statement or 1099-DIV on paper? You should use the 1099-DIV numbers not brokerage statement numbers. That is what the IRS gets and may reflect a change after the statement. For example, some mutual funds may make a dividend payment that is credited to your account on Jan 2 that was actually issued on Dec 31. So that doesn't appear on your Dec statement but it is taxable in 2018.
If you mean 1099 paper (or PDF) statement, you should figure out why they are different. Perhaps a corrected form has been issued. (Look for the "corrected" box checked). If so be sure to use the corrected form. You may need to ask Fidelity why their systems have produced different results.
Sometimes the imported 1099s can be for all of your accounts, but the paper 1099 might refer to only one account. Or vice versa.
