Q1: What is a non-qualified annuity?
A: A non-qualified annuity is purchased with after-tax dollars, meaning you've already paid income tax on the money used to purchase the annuity.
Q2: How is the exclusion ratio determined?
A: The exclusion ratio is calculated based on your investment in the contract and the expected return. It represents the portion of each payment that is considered return of principal.
Q3: Are annuity payments taxed as ordinary income?
A: Yes, the taxable portion of annuity payments is generally taxed as ordinary income at your marginal tax rate.
Q4: What happens if the exclusion exceeds the payment?
A: If the exclusion amount exceeds the payment amount, there is no taxable income and therefore no tax liability for that payment.
Q5: Are there different tax treatments for different types of annuities?
A: Yes, qualified annuities (purchased with pre-tax dollars) have different tax treatment where the entire payment is typically taxable as ordinary income.
