Lump Sum vs. Annuitization: Tax Implications for Your Non-Qualified Annuity
Manage episode 412812316 series 3307298
Joe is planning for retirement and wants to minimize his tax burden, especially on the interest earned from his three annuities. James explains that non-qualified annuities are purchased with post-tax money and offer tax deferral on growth until withdrawal. When taking out funds, the principal is tax-free, but earnings are taxed at ordinary income rates.
He explores strategies for tax-efficient withdrawals. He also touches on annuities, options like a 1035 exchange to transfer an annuity into a different product for improved performance, the tax implications for heirs, and early withdrawal penalties before age 59 and a half.
Questions Answered:
How are non-qualified annuities taxed upon distribution, including both lump sum and annuity options?
What strategies can be implemented to keep the tax burden as low as possible when withdrawing from non-qualified annuities?
