A portion of your payment is taxable because there is an interest rate factor that is paid on the after tax portion resulting in taxable gain. Normally, interest paid to you would all be taxed first under the LIFO ruling (last in, first out) like in a C.D.. However, an immediate annuity allows you to spread that interest (gain) out over the period of the contract which usually benefits you in regards to income taxes. So, every payment has a "tax-free" portion and a "taxable"portion.
