If you did not have your 2018 AGI then the only way to file the 2019 tax return was to print, sign, date and mail the federal tax return to the IRS.

To add the Form 1099-R you will have to amend the 2019 tax return that was filed.

An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return. Wait until you have received the tax refund or the taxes owed have been paid and processed by the IRS before amending the tax return.

For future reference ... instead of mailing in an incomplete return that will need to be amended you should have mailed in the extension instead. And if you are getting a refund then the extension was not even required.
