When Is Withdrawing From an Annuity Taxable Income?
Annuities are tax-advantaged retirement investment products offered by life insurance companies. Money within annuities grows tax-deferred until it is withdrawn. These products offer potentially significant opportunities for investors to accumulate money for use during retirement.

How Does a Load Work in Investments?
If you plan to invest money in mutual funds, understanding the fees and expenses associated with buying and selling shares is essential to making proper decisions regarding the safety and security of your financial future.
Loads vary in size and the time and manner in which they are assessed to your account. The differences in how and when sales loads are added to mutual fund purchases are called share classes, and not all classes of funds are appropriate for all investors.

Tax Consequences to the Annuity Beneficiary
If you or your spouse own an annuity, or if you are the beneficiary of one, you must familiarize yourself with the various income tax consequences of the different death benefit payout options.
Not all payout methods are available to all beneficiaries, as the most flexibility is given to the owner's spouse. However, an annuity owner's spouse is not obligated to choose the payout methods reserved only for spouses. The spouse can instead pick any of the other options offered to non-spousal beneficiaries.
