I thought 아니오 meant "no" and wasn't a version of "아니다".

what about the formal version of "no".

아니->아니요(polite)->아니????(formal form)

I believe technically 아니요 is informal (비격식체) but polite. Specifically I believe the speech level is 해요체.

Thanks for confirming 아닙니다 is the formal "격식체" version for both "no" and "to not be" I believe it's specifically the 합쇼체 version.

So I guess you just determine if 아닙니다 = "no" or "to not be" based on context.
