Want to see where your retirement income will come from?
Let’s take a look!Income choices and guarantees to meet your needs
You can select from a range of income options that allow you to structure an income that’s guaranteed to last for your lifetime, for a set period of time, for joint lives, or a variety of combinations that provide for beneficiaries.
Additional access with the Advance Withdrawal Benefit
See it in action on a Life with Period Certain (10 years) income option
In this example, once the guaranteed period is over, in the eleventh year annual payments jump back up for the remainder of the client’s life — to the payment level as if no withdrawal had been taken.
This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. It is not indicative of any particular investment or guarantee of future performance.
Although you’ll be receiving guaranteed payments on a frequency you choose, emergencies happen. Or, you may just find you need some additional flexibility as you adjust to your new financial needs. That’s why IncomeToday! 2.0 offers an Advance Withdrawal Benefit. The Advance Withdrawal Benefit is available for no additional cost with annuity income options that include a Period Certain guarantee.
Here’s how it works. At any time prior to the end of the guaranteed Period Certain, you can make a one-time lump sum withdrawal of between 25% to 75% of the present value of your future Period Certain annuity income payments. The minimum withdrawal is $1,000. If you make such a withdrawal, your payments for the remaining Period Certain will be reduced proportionately from the time you take the withdrawal until the guaranteed period ends. If you select a fixed Period Certain option, your income payments will stop at the end of the guaranteed period.
If you select a single or joint life option with a Period Certain, your income payment will return to the amount that would normally have been paid as if no withdrawal was made. The Advance Withdrawal Benefit provides an added measure of flexibility.
The Advance Withdrawal Benefit is an optional benefit that may be declined at time of application for purposes of preserving eligibility for certain external and/or government benefits. Please consult with an attorney to determine appropriate suitability.
Other things to know before purchasing an annuity
Keep in mind
Once you select your annuity income option – including frequency and payment dates – that decision cannot be changed. Availability of some Period Certain durations may be limited.
Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD)
IncomeToday! 2.0 can also be used to automatically satisfy your RMD requirements for assets rolled in from your retirement plans (401(k)s and IRAs), because it turns a portion of your assets into regular payments over your lifetime.
You must have selected one of the lifetime income options in order to use your IncomeToday! 2.0 payments to satisfy your RMD amounts. Talk to your financial professional about the income options that will help you meet RMD requirements. Keep in mind, if you select an option with a Period Certain, the time period you select can’t exceed your life expectancy.
Taxation
IncomeToday! 2.0 provides important tax advantages too. By receiving your money as an income stream, it allows you to stretch your tax liability over time.
For nonqualified annuities, a portion of each income payment you receive is classified as a return of your initial purchase payment (your cost basis). That part isn’t taxed. Only the interest portion of each payment is taxable. Your cost basis is then eventually returned to you over an extended period of time. After that, your entire income payment becomes taxable.
If you purchase your annuity with qualified money, such as assets from your 401(k) plan or IRA, then your income payments are fully taxable in the year you receive them, since no taxes have been paid on that money.
