Deferred tax means you have invested money into a plan and it is earning some income for you free from income tax until the time that you choose to start taking distributions from the annuity.

When you start receiving distributions from the annuity it will become a income annuity to you.

Depending on the type of the Annuity the distribution amounts will have have a gross distribution amount and a taxable distribution amount included in each distribution.

When you decide you want to start taking distributions from the annuity you will need to be careful because the seller of the annuity will probably have a set number of years before you can start taking your distribution from the plan without paying them a penalty for any early distribution amounts before the number of years end.

The IRS could also have a early withdrawal penalty of 10% of the taxable amount of the distribution unless you meet one of the exceptions to 10% early withdrawal penalty amount.

You can some information about this by going to the IRS gov web site and using the search box for ANNUITY

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.

Income from a 300000 annuity?

I think that you mean income from a 300,000 capital lump sum. Correct? An annuity is when your capital is used to buy an income for life. There are two forms of annuity, purchased and compulsary. Purchased means you take your savings and buy an income for the rest of your life. A compulsary annuity is when your savings have been accrued in a tax exempt pension sceme and therefore you have NO CHOICE about buy an annuity with them. Okay, whatever the type of annuity, you get the choice of what type of annuity you buy as follows:- (1) Straightforward annuity. No guarantee. When you die, the income ceases. (2) Guaranteed annuity. The income would be paid for 5 or 10 years whether you were alive or dead. If the latter, it would be paid to your estate for the residual period of the guarantee. (3) Joint life annuity. If you are married and were to die first, the income would be paid to your wife until she died. (4) Indexed linked annuity. The income would be increased at a maximum of 5% per year to offset increases to the cost of living. Note that each time you add sophistication to your choice of annuity, the start level of the annuity would be lower. Also note that annuity rates fluctuate in line with bank interest rates. You should shop around to find the highest annuity payer as rates differ between different insurance companies.


What Is the difference between an annuity and pension?

First of all, let's understand what the pension and annuity are. The pension is a consistent monthly income provided by Federal Govt. only to their employees after they retire. Usually, this income is half of the last salary received and is provided to an employee throughout their life. While an annuity is an investment where anyone can invest an amount of savings and receive a consistent monthly income throughout their retirement life. The major advantage of annuity over a pension is that pension isn't provided to each and every citizen while annuity is available for everyone. Moreover, the amount to be received isn't fixed by the Govt, but by the plan a customer chooses. if you are willing to know more about annuity insurance plans, you can visit our site: optinsure.com for the same.
