Retirement tax questions

Thanks Dave,

 

I inherited a regular IRA in 2019 and took a lump sum distribution as a result of a parent passing in 2019.  My understanding is that the lump sum included the 2019 RMD.  However, my Dad had been taking the RMD in 2018 and prior years.

 

Should I answer this was the first year of withdrawl, as for me it is?

 

Or No, made withdrawals from this account before as my Dad did in taking the RMD in prior years?
