Certainly, Larry.
I’m more than glad to assist you with your concern on annuities. Annuities come in different types – and are relative to how the provider classifies it. They are usually categorized according to payout, rate of return, tax status, and mode of payment or annuity period. These factors can influence how you choose the annuity you would want to buy.
For payouts, annuity is categorized as either immediate or deferred. Immediate annuities are annuities wherein payment starts right as soon as the plan is bought. Deferred annuity, on the other hand is when the payment starts a little later on a date that has been agreed by you and the provider.
For rate of return, it can either be fixed or variable annuity. When it comes to annuity period, the annuity can either be for a lifetime or for a fixed period. A fixed period annuity only requires you to make payments within a certain period or number of years. Lifetime annuity, on the other hand, requires payments to be made throughout the remaining life of the annuity until you retire.
With Tax status, annuity can either be qualified or non – qualified. Money paid for qualified annuity will not be taxed on the year it was paid. Non – qualified annuity will have the money paid as taxed.
And lastly, mode of payment is categorized by either flexible or single premium annuity. Single premium annuities only require a single bulk payment to fund the annuity, while flexible payments will give you the choice of when and how often you make the series of payments.
Hope this helps you, but I would suggest that you visit a local annuity agent there in Erie Pennsylvania PA so you can have a detailed explanation on the categories and types of annuities. Happy shopping!
