After you file
You could not have amended correctly. The 1040X form that you need for that will not become available until mid - to late February. It sounds like you just went back into the software and messed with your already filed return and tried to make changes to add the 1099R. That does not work. You cannot make changes to a return that has been e-filed until the IRS processes it fully and you use a Form 1040X to amend.
If you made changes to the first return you filed, change it back to its original information. When you amend you have to be able to work with the Form 1040 exactly as it appeared when you filed it and sent it to the IRS.
Then sit tight and wait for the IRS to process your first return. You can amend later in February.
Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
