Annuities

A pro with the AGI income lock annuity is that you do not have to worry about your rates with the lock system. However, the con is you may not get the best rate depending on your credit report.

yes

An annuity due is an annuity where the payments are made at the beginning of each time period; for an ordinary annuity, payments are made at the end of the time period. *an annuity due of (n) periods is equal to an ordinary annuity of (n-1) periods plus the payment.

Perhaps you meant a "non-qualified" annuity? If so, a nq annuity is an annuity purchased with after-tax dollars; conversely, a qualified annuity is one purchased with pre-tax dollars, such as in an IRA or a TSA.

The difference between strategy and tactics is that strategy defines "what" is to be done but tactics defines the "how". Tactical management is the use of tactics to implement strategy. This is different from traditional management in that in traditional management there is usually one procedure (standard operating procedure) for getting any action done whereas tactical management allows the manager to select appropriate tactics for best achieving the objective.

I'm in the same boat. I have an annuity credit of 25k on my bank statement at BOA. I called them and I asked the branch rep! No one knows. The only think I am leaning toward is.... it had something to do with our initial deposit. My 1st deposit to my small biz account was 25K. Its weird tho because the 25k has been on every statement since I opened the account in 10/07.

Annuities are similar to a CD except that insurance companies almost always pay better rates of interest than banks. Annuities also grow tax deferred. You choose when to pay tax on the earnings in the annuity as you only pay it when you take it out. Annuities come in all shapes and sizes and can be a long term item that you pay into like a savings account or single premium where you drop a lump sum into. You also have the option of taking the money out of the annuity or you can annuitize it which means that you set it up where you receive a monthly amount for life or for any specified time period. There are as many options on an annuity as there are needs.

FV of growing annuity = P * ((1+r)^n - (1+g)^n) / (r-g)

P=initial payment

r=discount rate or interest rate

g=growth rate

n=number of periods

P * n * (1+r)^(n-1)

There can be a few different definitions but in short as it applies to insurance or financial services: = Two Main Annuity Types: Immediate and Deferred = The difference between deferred and immediate annuities is just about what you'd think.

With an Immediate Annuity your income payments start right away (technically, anytime within 12 months of purchase). You choose whether you want income guaranteed for a specific number of years or for your lifetime. The insurance company calculates the amount of each income payment based on your purchase amount and your life expectancy.

A deferred annuity has two phases: the accumulation phase, where you let your money grow for a while, and the payout phase. During accumulation, your money grows tax-deferred until you take it out, either as a lump sum or as a series of payments. You decide when to take income from your annuity and therefore, when to pay the taxes. Gaining increased control over your taxes is one of the key benefits of annuities.

The payout phase begins when you decide to take income from your annuity. For most people, this is during retirement. As your needs dictate, you can take partial withdrawals, completely cash-out (surrender) your annuity, or convert your deferred annuity into a stream of income payments (annuitization). This last option is essentially the same as buying an immediate annuity.

To the best of my knowledge, as in most states, a life license is required to sell annuities in Arizona. Good luck.

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).

An annuity that will not begin until some time period in the future.
A deferred annuity is an annuity in which the taxes due on any taxable portion is deferred until you start to withdraw from the annuity. It is a way of compounding interest on the money you would normally paid taxes on if not in a ta deferred annuity. In a way it is like using the government's money to make you money.

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.

Book value fixed annuities pay a declared rate of interest for a specified period. No market value adjustment (MVA) is imposed if the holder withdraws assets before the end of the contract term. MVA products also pay a declared rate of interest for a specified period, and do impose such an adjustment.

Contact the company that issued the annuity and discuss with them, there is no 'set' amount or time, this is a company/policy specific question.

Lump sum or annuitized
