Inheritance

My dad passed away 03/08/2018

My mom inherited my dads Voluntary Investment Plan. The distribution code is 4-meaning Death. So she inherited this because of his death it shows fed income tax withheld of $90090.84 bot nothing was with held for state. My mom passed away this year 06/27/2019. I am trying to figure out these taxes does she have to claim this money she inherited?

sorry for your loss

all income up to the date of her death gets reported on her tax return as if she were still alive - there is no difference in treatment due to her passing.

what is in the taxable distribution box? that is what needs to be reported as income.
