Program Overview

The benefits and guarantees featured in annuity riders in the last 10–15 years make them more attractive to trustees. Annuities and trusts are each complex instruments. If done carefully, combining the two can provide clients with a powerful tool. If not, the combination could be a disaster for the client or their beneficiaries. This program will discuss the primary tax issues under the section 72 rules on non-natural persons, taxable distributions, distributions upon death, and penalty taxes. In addition, a brief review of the taxation rules for trusts will be presented.

Attendees will learn:

  • Ways a trust can qualify as a non-natural person so the annuity growth is tax-deferred
  • How lifetime distributions from the annuity are taxed
  • What happens to trust-owned annuities when the primary annuitant dies
  • Questions to ask before a trust purchases an annuity
