Thank you @DianeW777! I appreciate the response. I think my original confusion was due to the fact that I am only speaking about an Inherited NON-spousal IRA which I am 50% beneficiary. This us not a pension nor an annuity. My total distribution from the Tradition Inherited non-spousal IRA in 2024 was 8K and the tax software prompted the question whether I al entitled to a subtraction. The decedent passed at age 69 and had not taken their own RMDs prior to passing. If I am understanding correctly I can subtract the entire 8k.
