I inherited an IRA in 2012 following the death of the owner, who was born before 1936, and subsequently rolled the IRA into a differed annuity.  In 2019 I closed the annunith and took a total lump sum distribution.  Should the total amount be taxed as normal 2019 income or can I use the 10 year tax option? 

Best answer by DavidD66

There is no option other than to recognize the distribution as income in 2019.  It will be taxed as ordinary income.
