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)).

Yes, you can borrow against your NEAP (Non-Qualified Annuity Plan) annuity, but the terms depend on the specific annuity contract and the issuing insurance company.

It's essential to review your contract and consult with a financial advisor for personalized advice.

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your annuity and then let the annuity lapse, you will automatically owe taxes on any investment earnings that you have withdrawn from the annuity.

An annuity that will not begin until some time period in the future.A deferred annuity is an annuity in which the taxes due on any taxable portion is deferred until you start to withdraw from the annuity. It is a way of compounding interest on the money you would normally paid taxes on if not in a ta deferred annuity. In a way it is like using the government's money to make you money.
There are no annuities that you can borrow against. You can certainly make withdrawals, but there may be penalties associated with doing this, so I don't recommend it unless it is an absolute emergency.
