I started a business in 2016 and the last time I filed taxes with it is 2020 and then put it on hold, would it be considered starting a new business if I file this year?

All of the information and details of the business are up to date as far as registered with the state. I just paused to work another business for a while and then started up last year. When it asks about inventory should I state what it was when I filed in 2020? Or do I have to say I started a new business in 2024?
