Retirement tax questions

Thank you for that answer.  I do have another question about the software. 

The annuities in question are qualified deferred annuities for which I received lump-sum distributions as the beneficiary.

  I filled in the taxable amount as the full amount of the distribution.  The program asks me if the money came from a Roth IRA.  When I answer Yes, I have the chance to say that it's an inherited IRA and give the name and date of death of my father.  Then the program asks when I first opened the IRA and says I will not be taxed on it if they opened it more than 5 years ago.  Does the program really mean to ask when did he first open the IRA?  This is confusing.
