The number one problem facing
seniors today is the risk of outliving their money. Several factors
affect the situation including longer life spans, lower interest rates
and the terrible fact that too many seniors have lost too much money
over the last few years due to the drop in the stock market. Many
seniors still possess enough assets to insure a guaranteed lifetime
income at levels which provide a decent standard of living – one which
they can’t outlive. The solution is of course, the lifetime annuity.
We are a huge advocate of the lifetime guarantee income immediate
annuity and the security and peace of mind they offer.
The Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA) is a contract issued by a life insurance
company. The annuity is purchased with a single premium payment which guarantees to
provide regular income payments to you and/or other persons. The SPIA is an immense
product in that it guarantees you will never outlive your retirement savings, no matter
how long you live. And in addition to the tax advantages and convenience of SPIA's, you
can select the frequency and guarantee periods of your income payments from a variety of
income plans:
Tax Consequences
 | Non-qualified or "after tax" monies used to
purchase annuity income have something qualified plans do not. The
Exclusion Ratio or amount of the
annuity payment that is not subject to
income tax since it is considered to be a
return of not only interest but of original
principal "cost basis". The cost basis is
the original investment and is not subject to income tax when distributed
from a Personal Income Annuity. |
 | The exclusion ratio is determined by the amounts of principal and interest
being returned. An account with a large amount of credited interest will
have a lower exclusion ratio than a mostly principal payout. |
 | For example, if a 60 year old male with
$100,000 and a cost basis of $50,000 purchases an annuity income for life
the payment would be $582 per month of which 29.6% would be tax free.
|
 | If that same 60 year old had a cost basis of $100,000 the payment is still
$582 per month however, the exclusion ratio would be 59.2%. |
