I filled up Form 5329 with an explanation( for waiver request)because I forgot to withdraw the RMD for 2016. Can I efile? Or do I need to mail the returns? Thank you!

I filled up Form 5329 with an explanation(asking for waiver) because I forgot to withdraw the RMD for 2016. Can I efile? Or do I need to mail the returns? Thank you!

The Form 5329 and the explanation needs to be filed by mail.  You can either e-file the rest of your return or mail it to the IRS at the same time.
