I feel like we were taken advantage of...Advised that our inheritance of an annuity was not to be taken in a lump sum, because of taxable income....They talked us into taking another annuity...which we are paying taxes on!
What re course do we have, other than a lawsuit?Which I may consider...
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.
No, in Australia, America and most of Europe there are certain taxes that affect inherited annuities.
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.
YES!
Yes, you will have to pay taxes. You can take the money lump sum and pay the taxes this year, or you can roll it over into an inherited IRA and pay the taxes as the money is distributed. You will be taxed at your normal marginal tax rate.

Do I have to pay taxes on a money market my mother left me when she passed away in jan. 2015 if I roll it over into my annuity account?

Yes the annuity payments are taxable income to the beneficiaries in the same way that they were taxed to the deceased taxpayer.
Yes this could be possible.
Yes you can. You will most likely pay a variety of fees and taxes depending on your age and how long you have been collecting on the annuity. There are applicable surrender fees, but you can cash it out if you want to.
No you do not pay any taxes on it but the estate may have already paid taxes if the estate is large enough
