After you file

Why not simply comply with the IRS request and mail them a copy of the 1099R?   Your tax return did not have an image of the actual document; it only had the amounts entered--which were entered by you.   The IRS wants a copy of the document ---so send it.   You can get another copy from the financial institution that issued it if you did not save your own copy.
