Do I have to mail the 1099 R forms to the IRS with my return?

Yes, if you mail your return to the IRS, you will need to include Copy B of your 1099-R. The same would apply for a W-2 and any other form that had withholding.

If you are filing by mail instead of e-filing then yes, you have to attach any W-2's or 1099's that show tax withheld.

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
