Missed RMDs and form 5329 on Inherited IRA

My Aunt passed away in December of 2017, she was 63 at the time, and wasn't taking RMDs. She had an IRA where I was the beneficiary but I wasn't aware of it until 2024. In 2024 I took a full withdrawal and closed it out. It was only $1700. I am reading that I should have been paying RMDs, but didn't. I also see where no RMDs are required in years 2021 through 2024. I'm also reading there is a statute of limitations of 3 years? I'm totally confused on how to handle this on my taxes other than reporting the 1099R I received for closing the full account. Any help is appreciated. It sounds complicated.

" no RMDs are required in years 2021 through 2024."

does not apply in your situation.

What's done is done.

If you just learned of the IRA --??-- you have "reasonable cause" for waiver of penalty.

IRS is unlikely to audit you , so do nothing beyond entering the 1099-R.

HOW does IRS know when you inherited the IRA? I see nothing on the 1099R with the former owners date or death or social? Is it safe to just submit the 1099R and hope the IRS doesnt look into it?

I;m guessing retitling the IRA into your name as beneficiary would trigger a Form 5498 report to IRS
