I have receieved my taxes via paperless apps. Will my 1099R for my retirement come in the mail when the official papers do?

I don't know when or how I receive 1099 papers. Will they be mailed when my taxes are mailed? My taxes are done through the app paperless so I'm not sure if I'm expecting papers for my retirement too.

W-2s & 1099s are generally sent out by payors (i.e., your employer or retirement plan) no later than Jan. 31, usually by mail in which case you should allow at least two additional weeks for the form to arrive. Those forms are not sent to payees by the IRS or Intuit.

When your 1099-R will arrive - and how it is delivered - is entirely up to the company issuing it.  The only thing that they all have in common is that they have to have it sent to you - in some way or another - by January 31st.  So however you're going to get it you should have it soon.

If you don't then you need to contact the bank or organization in charge of issuing it and request they give it to you.

you opted out of paper and selected "electronic receipt only".
