  4. Tax Deferred Annuities Some people purchase Tax Deferred Annuities to provide… • Accumulation of money on a tax-deferred basis • Participation in market gain or interest rate growth with a guaranteed base • Income payments or a lump sum for beneficiaries in the future

  6. Fact A Life Insurance Marketing Research Association (LIMRA) study indicated: Over 90% of insurance annuities are never annuitized … They are “parked” and passed to heirs.

  7. Consequences Upon death, the full accumulation value of an annuity is subject to double taxation: • Estate Tax (if applicable) • Income Tax • Any gain constitutes ordinary income to the recipient in the year received and, the tax, if any must be paid within 5 years • This may increase the tax bracket of the recipient, which could create higher taxes

  8. 1. The surrender value is transferred… not the full accumulation value of the annuity 2. The annuity owner forfeits the surrender penalty 1035 Exchange One common option is the 1035 exchange that allows individuals to replace an existingannuity with another annuity, however: * IRC §1035

  9. A new contract is issued at the full accumulation value … not the surrender value The new contract provides an immediate income tax deduction with a 5 year carry-forward if needed Income payments may begin immediately or may be deferred NCF’s 453 Transfer A unique alternative:NCF’s Charitable Installment Purchase Plan (ChIP) May reduce taxable income by 50% * IRC §453 and 26 CFR §1.1011-2

  10. Flex-Deferred Option Features: • Income may be deferred until needed • Income will be increased for every year deferred If death occurs prior to the time income begins: • Proceeds may be distributed to beneficiaries in installments, providing spendthrift protection • Tax liability for heirs is reduced • The taxable estate, if any, may be reduced * Installment sale income includes interest income, return of adjusted basis in the property and gain on the sale.
