IRS Circular 230 Disclosure Any tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, to avoid penalties imposed under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed here. Individuals should seek independent tax advice based on their own circumstances. Annuity payments are taxed so that a portion of each payment is taxable as earnings and the remaining portion is not taxed, as a return of your basis. The tax-free portion is determined by the exclusion ratio, which is the net premium over the total of expected payments. The exclusion ratio times the payment is the tax-free return of premium in each payment. If payments continue such that all of the premiums were received without tax, then remaining payments are fully taxable. These amounts are taxed as ordinary income. Individuals purchasing annuities as part of a retirement plan, including an IRA, do not receive any additional tax benefits from those that exist with any qualified retirement plan or IRA. OL4513
