After you file

If you are feeling like you deeply need to report it then do as @fanfare suggests above and file a paper 1040X with no changes and an explanation.

 

But there is no change and the IRS has a copy of the 1099-R that you have.  Even if they correct your return it will make no change.  

 

I would put the 1099-R in your files and let the IRS send you a letter.  There is no need to amend a tax return for this.
