What is the difference between a tax defered annuity and a income annuity?

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.

Is donating blood tax deductible?

If you have an annuity of 10K that pays about 5 percent each year should you use that to pay as much of your tuition bill as you can?

Assuming that the annuity in question is a "deferred" annuity (that is, that it is not already providing regular annuity payments), the answer depends upon whether you're over 59 1/2 or not. If you're not, any distributions from that annuity will be taxable as Ordinary Income AND subject to a 10% penalty tax - 10% of the amount of the distribution (IRC Sect. 72(q)). Not a very attractive result. If you're over 59 1/2 and still attending school, BRAVO! But the distribution from your annuity will still be taxable (but without that 10% penalty tax).
