Only if you took a distribution from it or rolled it over to another account.

The statement may show things that are usually not reported on your tax return at all, such as changes in the value of your account. If you did not withdraw any funds, you will receive only your statement and no 1099-R. If the statement shows a distribution, you'll receive a 1099-R for that.
