Are the children the beneficiary's of the Annuity? Annuity's are like Life insurance, they have named beneficiary's listed in the contract. If the children are listed, then yes they are going to benefit from this account.
Depends on divorce decree or pre-nup.
I did not receive interest for the year for my annuity.
It grows tax deferred. If you take an income stream or annuitize the annuity, the money is taxed as ordinary income.
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).
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.
Your variable annuity invests in financial products and instruments that may lose value. The prospectus is for you to read and learn about the underlying investments and the risks associated with them.
It will depend entirely upon the wording of the bequest. In this case, it would be a good idea to consult a probate attorney. They will know the laws and wording required for your state or country.
The PV of a 30 year 800 per year annuity is 6,444 if the payment is received at the end of the year and 7,217 is the payment is received at the start of the year
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.
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.
A pension is a defined benefit retirement plan funded by an employer, providing a set monthly payment to retirees. An annuity is a financial product purchased by an individual that provides regular payments over a period of time, often used as a source of retirement income. Unlike a pension, which is typically provided by an employer, an annuity is usually purchased by an individual from an insurance company.
