Thanks for your reply. However, I don't see that the text you pointed to says I'm grandfathered. FYI, my mom died after she was required to take RMDs. The bottom of page 10 says "The 5-year rule never applies if the owner died on or after his or her required beginning date." The top of page 11 does say as you pointed out "The 5-year rule generally applies to all beneficiaries if the owner died before 2020." These two statements appear to be in conflict, so I'm a bit confused.
I am glad to see the example on page 13 that starts with "Your father died in 2019 at the age of 80..." which does show using life-expectancy tables and neither the 5- nor 10-year rules. This example does seem to say that I do need to update the use of the table, so I will look to see if I need to do some make-up distributions to be on track assuming I'd started using the updated table in 2020.
I guess I don't see a definitive statement regarding my situation, but I'll go with the implied continued use of the tables as shown in the example.
