When processing a beneficiary distribution from a fixed annuity, the federal tax withholding is generally set at 10% by default for eligible distributions. However, beneficiaries can choose to withhold more or less, depending on their individual tax situation. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional to determine the appropriate withholding rate based on personal circumstances and potential tax liabilities.

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