YES!
If the annuity is a non qualified tax deferred annuity (an annuity that taxes were paid on the money before they were placed into the annuity) you will pay taxes on any interest growth when it is removed from the annuity. If the annuity is a qualified annuity (no taxes were paid prior to placing the fund into the annuity) you will pay taxes on all withdrawals from the annuity.
The money you receive from the annuity is income. All income is supposed to be reported and taxes paid on it.It depends upon where that money came from in your fathers estate. If this annuity came from your fathers annuity which was established from IRA or a 401K which had never paid taxes on -then the annuity now needs to pay the taxes.If the annuity came from life insurance then their is no taxes to pay. If the annuity came from prepaid tax money there would be no taxes to pay. etc.
I feel like we were taken advantage of...Advised that our inheritance of an annuity was not to be taken in a lump sum, because of taxable income....They talked us into taking another annuity...which we are paying taxes on!What re course do we have, other than a lawsuit?Which I may consider...
No, fixed annuities are generally tax-deferred. You will pay taxes on it when you remove the money from the annuity. Fixed annuities are not taxed so no you would not have to. You can find out more facts about how they work by visiting www.moneymanagment.info.
No, people only have to pay taxes on things they own or use. There is no death tax instated in the United States, so one does not have to pay a tax simply to live.

You do. You need to speak with your tax accountant and find ways to reduce your tax burden. The upside is that the transfer of wealth within the annuity avoids probate, both the time and the cost.
Do I have to pay taxes on a money market my mother left me when she passed away in jan. 2015 if I roll it over into my annuity account?
You don't have to pay taxes.. But the government says they tax the transfer property at your death..

Yes the annuity payments are taxable income to the beneficiaries in the same way that they were taxed to the deceased taxpayer.
Yes you can. You will most likely pay a variety of fees and taxes depending on your age and how long you have been collecting on the annuity. There are applicable surrender fees, but you can cash it out if you want to.
A deferred annuity is a product by which the money within the product grows at a tax deferred rate. This means that you do not have to pay taxes on the portion of money that is taxable until you begin to withdraw it. With an annuity there are many ways to remove money from them.
When you take a monetary payout in installments, especially in an annuity (yearly installments) you must pay taxes on each installment. While this wouldn't be a problem for a monthly payout, taking a lump sum payout on an annuity means you only have to pay taxes once on it. Typically a cash settlement will be less than the total of the installments. The advantage is that you have the money all at once. Of course you'll have to pay taxes on it if the settlement isn't exempt from taxes.
No. There are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. If you don't pay your taxes, they (the taxing body) will find you and get payment.
