Do I need to wait for a 1099-r form if i have not contributed to that 401k in 2016?

I have an old 401k that I keep money in . I have not contributed anything to it in years . do i still need to wait for the 1099-R form to arrive before finishing my taxes? and would that filing possibly give me more or less on my tax return?

If you did not receive a withdrawal from the 401(k) account in 2016 then there will not be a Form 1099-R issued.
