29 ANNUITIES 29
30 What is an Annuity? A Contract to pay... Annuity A contract between you and an insurance company, under which you make a lump-sum payment or series of payments. In return, the insurer agrees to make periodic payments to you beginning immediately or at some future date. 30
31 Phases of a Deferred Annuity Accumulation Phase Payout Phase Deferred Annuity 31
32 Accumulation Phase Traditional Fixed: Pays declared interest rate Fixed Index: interest is based on performance of an index or indices Funds are paid into the contract by the owner Deferred Annuity Variable: owner selects subaccounts, interest based on account performance. 32
33 Payout Phase Payments can be distributed for annuitant s lifetime Longer of Annuitant s Life or Certain Period Payments can be distributed over a period of time Deferred Annuity Payment can be based on lifetime benefits rider 33
34 Living Benefits At an additional cost: A guaranteed minimum death benefit, which locks in the amount you can leave your beneficiaries A guaranteed minimum income benefit, which guarantees a particular minimum annuity payment A guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit, which guarantees a minimum account value at some point in the future (as agreed upon by you and the insurance company). A guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, which guarantees a minimum stream of income, either equal to the contract principal or for life, providing you withdraw within specified limits over time. Access to additional liquidity due to a long-term care situation, such as entering a nursing facility.
35 The Basics for Non-Qualified When considering a nonqualified annuity, most clients and many of their advisors (regardless of whether they are attorneys, certified public accountants, or financial professionals) focus on the tax deferral generally available for nonqualified annuities under Code 72. Qualified Distributions Age 59 ½ or older, Disability, Substantial Equal Periodic payments SPIA, or Death of Non-Qualified Annuity (NQA) owner. 35
36 NQ Deferred Annuities: Natural v. Non-Natural Under Code 72(u), annuities owned by a person who is not a natural person do not qualify for tax deferral because they are not treated as annuity contracts for income tax purposes (other than for the insurance company provisions of subchapter L). Non-natural persons would include: Trusts Partnerships Limited Liability Companies Corporations 36
37 Exceptions Annuities acquired by a decedent's estate because of the decedent's death; Annuities held under a plan described in Code 401(a) (qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plans), as a Code 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity, or as part of an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs); Annuities purchased by an employer for distribution to an employee or beneficiary on the termination of a qualified plan or tax-sheltered annuity and held until the annuity is distributed; Immediate annuities; Annuities used to fund a structured settlement under Code 130; or Annuities held as an agent for a natural person. 37
38 NQ Deferred Annuity: Grantor Trust Conceptually, a grantor trust in which an individual is treated as the grantor under Code would seem to avoid the non-natural person tax trap. Only three private letter rulings involving whether grantor trusts are agents for natural persons appear to have been issued. PLRs , , In PLR , the IRS stated that [w]here a trust holding an annuity contract is a grantor trust, and a natural person is treated as the owner of the trust under [the grantor trust rules], the trust is treated as holding the annuity contract for that natural person under section 72(u)(1). This is different for IRAs... Special Needs Trust, OK By Grantor, NO (See 2011 PLR s) 38
39 Death of Non-Qualified Annuity Owner Individuals named as beneficiaries of non-qualified annuities have three options : Non-Spousal Beneficiary Distribution of entire contract within five years The value of the annuity must be annuitized within one year of the date of the owner s death, or Lump sum Spousal Beneficiary The surviving spouse may choose to become the owner of the contract and no distribution is required. However, if anyone else is named as a primary beneficiary along with the spouse, then the spousal option of continuing the contract is lost. 39
40 Trust Beneficiaries In contrast, if a trust is the beneficiary of a nonqualified annuity: Code 72(s) says that the trust must receive the annuity balance within five years of the annuity owner's death. It cannot stretch the distributions over the life expectancy of one or more trust beneficiaries or take advantage of the options available to a spouse, even if the spouse is the sole beneficiary of the trust.* * For nonqualified annuities, the five-year period ends on the fifth anniversary of the triggering death. **There is no provision under Code 72(s) and the associated regulations comparable to that of Treas. Reg (a)(9)-4, A-5, which permits a trust named as the beneficiary of an IRA or an employersponsored plan including 401(k) plans, profit-sharing plans, SEPs, and SIMPLEs to be treated as a designated beneficiary if certain requirements are met. 40
41 Estate Tax For federal estate tax purposes, the total value of the contract is subject to estate tax. Annuities are income in respect of a decedent (IRD) and are not eligible for "step-to" in basis at death. Therefore, the annuity is subject to ordinary income tax when distributed. 41

43 A smarter alternative to selfinsuring SM Your client can purchase a Lincoln MoneyGuard Reserve Plus policy with a portion of cash reserves. The policy remains an asset in their portfolio, and it offers: OR A money-back guarantee. At any time, your client can request a return of premium, upon full surrender of the policy. The amount received will be adjusted for any benefits paid and any loans and cash withdrawals, and it may have tax implications. The money back guarantee is included in the policy cost through the Enhanced Surrender Value Endorsement, which is available at issue on all single premium policies and flexible premium policies for ages See Endorsement for complete terms and conditions. An income tax-free death benefit. When the client dies, the policy pays an income tax-free death benefit to their beneficiaries.* OR Long-term care benefits. If the client needs long-term care, the policy can provide income tax-free reimbursements for qualified long-term care expenses. * Beneficiaries can receive an income tax-free death benefit under IRC Section 101(a)(1). Long-term care reimbursements are generally income tax-free under IRC Section 104(a)(3). 43

46 Life Insurance Settlements Life insurance is no longer needed, or becomes cost prohibitive, or is not performing as expected Insured has outlived risk insured against, business use of life insurance has passed Candidates: Over age 65 Adverse change in health $250,000 plus policy death benefit No longer wants or can afford 46
47 Life Insurance Settlements How Much? Market Value Difference between the present value of the death benefit and the present value of anticipated premiums Life expectancy of insured is one of biggest factors affecting the value Shorter life expectancy means smaller discount will apply to death benefit and fewer premiums will be needed 47
48 Life Insurance Settlements Taxation If true viatical settlement Terminal death within 24 months it is tax-free Sale of policy Amount up to basis is tax-free Difference between basis and CSV is ordinary income tax Any proceeds over and above the greater of basis or CSV is capital gains 48
49 Life Insurance Settlements Taxation Example Policy is sold for $500,000 Total Tax Basis is $125,000 CSV is $225,000 Sale Price is $500,000 $275,000 BALANCE is Capital Gains Tax $100,000 CSV minus BASIS is Ordinary Income Tax $125,000 BASIS is Tax-free Not for Client Use 49
