Retirement tax questions

Since you waited til 2019 to do a withdrawal, your 2018 RMD will be taxable in 2019. You do not have the option of declaring it taxable in 2018.
There is no where on the tax forms that you tell the IRS that you met the 2018 RMD requirement. Keep good records in the (unlikely) case that you get an IRS inquiry letter.
