Immediate Income Annuity

Qualified and non-qualified annuities

Immediate income annuity offers security, simplicity, high returns and preferred tax treatment. It can provide life annuity: a stable lifetime income which can never be outlived, or which may be guaranteed for a specific time. Investments do not have to be managed by the policyholder and the preferred tax treatment means that you can postpone the payment of income tax; only the portion attributed to interest is subject to taxes.

An annuity of this sort can either be qualified or non-qualified: a qualified annuity uses money that, until now, has qualified for exemption from IRS income tax. Non-qualified annuities use money on which tax has already been paid.
