@KinNC If you import your 1099R into your tax software and e-file the return, then it has all been done electronically. If you import the 1099R but choose to file by mail for some reason, then you have to include a printed copy of the 1099R with your Form 1040. Whenever you mail a tax return to the IRS in an envelope you have to include copies of any W-2's or 1099's that show tax withheld.
