And nothing about a distribution from an IRA that you inherited from your brother ever goes on a Form 8606 inside of TurboTax.  If your brother had basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions, you would have to prepare a separate Form 8606 outside of TurboTax to determine the taxable amount, then explicitly enter the resulting taxable amount into TurboTax when entering the corresponding Form 1099-R.

amount received in 2024 will go on your 2024 tax return.

Unless his basis is  100% , it will be taxable income.
