An unrecognized tax benefit is the difference between the tax benefit reflected on the income tax return and the amount of the benefit recorded on the financial statements. Example: taxpayer deducts $100 on its return but believes that a $60 deduction will be the most likely outcome in a negotiated resolution with the IRS on audit. The $40 difference is the unrecognized tax benefit.

You are purchasing an annuity with all after tax dollars why is a portioin of your monthly payment taxable until you have withdrawn your investment?

A portion of your payment is taxable because there is an interest rate factor that is paid on the after tax portion resulting in taxable gain. Normally, interest paid to you would all be taxed first under the LIFO ruling (last in, first out) like in a C.D.. However, an immediate annuity allows you to spread that interest (gain) out over the period of the contract which usually benefits you in regards to income taxes. So, every payment has a "tax-free" portion and a "taxable"portion.
