Best Answer

Under the existing Internal Revenue Code guidelines, rules and regulations gifts made to anyone, including relatives and friends are not deductible. However, the grantor (giver of the gift) might have to pay a gift tax if the gift exceed a certain amount (12,000.00) per individual per year. Gifts are generally not deductible to the grantor, nor are they taxable (reported as part of income) to the recepient or beneficiary. Gifts in general are irrevocable (cannot be taken back by the grantor). Respectfully submitted by: CHR Florida Certified Public Accountant April 1, 2007

Hello, I recently purchased one and the money you invest is not tax deductible. It is not taxed if it grows in value or generates revenue, within the annuity. When you do start taking money out, it is treated as ordinary taxable income. However you do not pay taxes on the original contribution, just on the gains.
