What gains more interest an ordinary annuity or an annuity due?
ordinary annuity
Is the cash accumulation in an annuity tax free?
No. The interest on a deferred annuity is tax-DEFERRED. That is, it is not taxed until it is distributed, at which point it will be taxed as Ordinary Income. (NO annuity EVER received Capital Gains treatment under current law).
Why exactly would one buy an annuity?
One purchases an annuity by depositing money, which guarantees a return of regular, fixed payments for a fixed period of time or one's lifetime. One might purchase an annuity so as to receive a payout that is not subject to income or capital gains taxes.
Where can one find the definition of deferred annuities?
Deferred annuities are either fixed or variable. A deferred annuity is where one deposits funds with an annuity company. Taxes on any financial gains made by your investments are deferred until you withdraw your funds.
What is the difference between a qualify annuity and non qualifying annuity?
You mean qualified. It refers to the tax status of the funds inside it. If funds are qualified that is IRS/investment lingo for pre tax money, such as money in a 401K, IRA, or 403b. Non qualified obviously is money that income tax has already been paid on. Taxes in an annuity are defered until you use the money. In a qualified annuity all of the money would be subject to income tax upon withdrawal. In a non qualified annuity only the gains would be taxed. But since it is tax deferred you pay your income tax rate, not capital gains taxes. The original amount invested is not subject to tax when you withdraw it.
Can you rollover an IRA over into anything but another IRA?
Yes you can but you will have tax consequences. You placed this ? under annuities. You can roll your 401K or IRA into an annuity with no tax issues. And with current guarantees of 6% for the next 10 years why not?
What is the tax treatment of a non qualified annuity?
Please clarify what country you are talking about. Different countries have different tax laws. Taxation rules for a nonqualified annuity owned by individuals subject to United States tax jurisdiction are contained in Internal Revenue Service Publication 17. A nonqualified annuity is funded with after tax dollars and accordingly the tax basis for all contributions is zero. Any contract gains made above the tax basis are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates. The primary advantage of a nonqualified annuity is the benefit of allowing savings to grow on a tax deferred basis. In an ordinary savings or stock account all realized capital gains, dividends, and interest are taxed on a yearly basis. In a nonqualfied annuity account gains can compound tax free over time until funds are withdrawn. Different tax rules apply depending on whether the annuity holder takes a withdrawal or an annuitization payment. When a withdrawal is made from a nonqualified annuity gains are considered to be distributed first and will be fully taxable. For example, an individual holding a nonqualified annuity with an account balance of $200,000 consisting of $150,000 of after tax contributions and $50,000 in gains would owe ordinary income tax on $50,000 of a $70,000 withdrawal. The remaining $20,000 would be tax free since it represents part of the cost basis comprised of after tax contributions. When an owner of a nonqualfied annuity chooses to receive annuity payments each year part of the payment will be comprised of a tax-free return of his basis and part taxable gain. The rules can become very complex and exceptions to the general rule cited above exist for contracts issued prior to August 14, 1982. In addition to possible taxation of withdrawals a penalty tax of 10% is assessed on money withdrawn before the age of 59 1/2. If the account owner dies with gains in the nonqualified annuity the beneficiary will inherit the tax basis of the decedent and owe ordinary income taxes on the distribution of any gains.
Is a fixed index annuity good for older persons.?
A fixed index annuity can be a good option for older persons looking for guaranteed income and protection of principal, as it offers potential for growth based on stock index performance without direct investment in the market. However, they may have long surrender periods and potential caps on returns, so it's important to consider all factors before deciding if it's the right fit for your financial goals.
How do you report your annuity on federal taxes when it went directly from IRA account into AIG annuity?
A rollover occurs when you withdraw from one retirement plan and transfer all or part of that amount, within 60 days, to another retirement plan. You will receive Form 1099-R (Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, etc.) from the holder of your IRA account. Refer to Form 1099-R in filling out your tax return. On Form 1040, you enter the rollover amount on line 15a (IRA distributions). Next to 15b write Rollover. If the total amount of the IRA was rolled over into the annuity, then enter 0 on line 15b. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics. Select Topic 413 (Rollovers from Retirement Plans). Also, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs. Select Publication Number. Type 575 in the Find box to read/print Publication 575 (Pension and Annuity Income). Type 590 in the Find box to view Publication 590 (Individual Retirement Arrangements).
What is the definition of Variable Annuity?
I found different sites with definitions for annuity variables. Investopedia states that an annuity variable is, "an insurance contract in which, at the end of the accumulation stage, the insurance company guarantees a minimum payment. The remaining income payments can vary depending on the performance of the managed portfolio." (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/variableannuity.asp#axzz1bw9FbZ8G)
How much of an annuity is taxed?
I am not a tax advisor and you should always seek the advice of a professional, but, having said that, generally speaking, qualified funds in an annuity, with a qualified tax plan, such as an IRA are fully taxable when you take receipt of the funds. Non qualified funds in an annuity, are taxed only on the gains. These are guidelines only. Please seek the advice of a qualified professional tax advisor.
When was Rollover DJ created?
