Are Variable annuity pay outs taxable?
Oh boy, your gonna love this! Clearly, the annuity company should really provide a statement showing what is and what isn't taxable. 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.

How TO borrow money from AN annuity?
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)).
Do you pay taxes on income earned in an annuity?
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.
