I was unemployed in 2019 and withdrew 100K from my IRA to cover expenses. How do I report this money? Is it considered income?

I had no employment income in 2019 and instead paid my expenses from money I have inherited. The money is divided between three accounts: an IRA, a supplemental IRA, and an account with funds earmarked for the future purchase of a home. During the year, I took two withdrawals of 50K each. I’m assuming that I must report these on my 2019 return, but I’m not sure where in TT to enter them. Are the withdrawals considered income, etc.? Also, I separately took a mandatory minimum distribution from my IRA, which I transferred to my supplemental IRA account. Does the fact that I transferred the distribution to another account make any difference in terms of how I report it? Any help regarding these questions would be greatly appreciated.
