No. You cannot add 2018 income to a 2019 tax return. The 2018 1099R should have been on your 2018 return so you need to amend 2018 and mail it in.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
