Mud is much clearer, and some investment advisors claim annuities are terrible tax things.
Complex rules apply to the taxation of amounts received under certain annuity and life insurance contracts. Amounts received as an annuity are included in gross income to the extent that they exceed the exclusion ratio, which is determined by taking the original investment in the contract, deducting the value of any refund features, and dividing the result by the expected yield on the contract as of the annuity starting date. Different rules apply to amounts paid under a contract that are not received as an annuity. The annuity rules do not apply to tax-sheltered investment contracts, interest only settlements, and life insurance proceeds payable by reason of death. Special rules apply to many distributions from retirement plans, divorce settlements, required post-death payments under annuity contracts, annuity contracts not held by individuals, and options to receive annuity payments instead of a lump sum under a contract.

If you have an annuity of 10K that pays about 5 percent each year should you use that to pay as much of your tuition bill as you can?
Assuming that the annuity in question is a "deferred" annuity (that is, that it is not already providing regular annuity payments), the answer depends upon whether you're over 59 1/2 or not. If you're not, any distributions from that annuity will be taxable as Ordinary Income AND subject to a 10% penalty tax - 10% of the amount of the distribution (IRC Sect. 72(q)). Not a very attractive result. If you're over 59 1/2 and still attending school, BRAVO! But the distribution from your annuity will still be taxable (but without that 10% penalty tax).
