The money you receive from the annuity is income. All income is supposed to be reported and taxes paid on it.It depends upon where that money came from in your fathers estate. If this annuity came from your fathers annuity which was established from IRA or a 401K which had never paid taxes on -then the annuity now needs to pay the taxes.If the annuity came from life insurance then their is no taxes to pay. If the annuity came from prepaid tax money there would be no taxes to pay. etc.
There is a section on the tax form for deductions. If you keep track of how much money you have paid on an annuity, tax professionals and various tax programs will assist in making the proper federal tax deductions.
No. The decedent's estate is responsible for paying the debts of the decedent. Generally, an annuity with a named beneficiary is not part of the probate assets much like life insurance payable to a named beneficiary. However, the recipient of an annuity should consult a professional regarding tax issues.
The federal estate tax is paid by the estate of the decedent not by the individual beneficiaries. Of course, each share of the beneficiary will be reduced by the appropriate percentage of interest in the estate when time comes for distribution. So, the money eventually comes out of the pockets of each beneficiary.
No. The money payments to a annuity plan when you purchase the annuity plan the amount that you pay for the plan is not tax deferred. The amount is after income tax funds. The earnings that go on inside of the annuity plan will be tax deferred until the time that you start taking distributions from the annuity plan.
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.
Proceeds from a life insurance policy to a beneficiary are usually paid free from federal income tax.
