Retirement tax questions

Nothing about a RMD actually appears on a tax return.   The only reporting is if the RMD is not taken in 2019.

 

The RMD is the *minimum" distribution that must be taken in 2019.  If the entire IRA is distributed in 2019 then much more then the RMD would have been taken so the RMD requirement  would be met and the IRA no longer exists.
