To understand the consequences of borrowing from a deferred annuity (one in which annuity payments are not scheduled to commence within one year of issue), one needs to know if the annuity is being used to fund an IRA or "qualified plan". If the annuity is funding an IRA, no borrowing is permissible, because IRA rules do not permit borrowing from one's IRA. If the annuity is funding an employer-sponsored retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan), borrowing may or may not be permitted by the plan (and the annuity contract).
If the deferred annuity is being purchased with after-tax dollars, not in an IRA or employer-sponsored plan, then borrowing is not forbidden by law, but most deferred annuity contracts do not allow it.
It should be noted that borrowing against such an annuity, or even pledging the annuity value as collateral for a loan (such as, from a bank) will cause the untaxed "gain" in the annuity to be taxable in the year of the pledging (up to the value of the amount borrowed) (IRC 72(e)(4)).

It is possible to borrow money from some but not all types of annuities. If a loan is allowed, you will be limited to borrowing from the funds that you have already contributed to the annuity, limited to not more than one loan per year, and very likely limited not more than $50,000. If you do borrow from your annuity and then let the annuity lapse, you will automatically owe taxes on any investment earnings that you have withdrawn from the annuity.
