Is it better to file for extension and wait for corrected 1099-R, or file with original 1099-R and amend later?

I received an incorrect 1099-R on an annuity that incorrectly indicated that I had an early distribution. The company has been notified and I am awaiting receipt of the corrected 1099-R (which will come after April 15th). Should I file for an extension, wait for the corrected 1099-R, then file, or should I go ahead and file now and submit an amended form when the corrected 1099-R is received?
