Taxation of Insurance Products and Trust Owned Annuities sponsored by Taft
About the program…
Life insurance and annuities enjoy special tax treatment compared to traditional investments and therefore, it can be confusing understanding all of the different scenarios. Mr. Underwood will help provide a broad understanding of tax implications on all insurance products including annuities, annuities in IRAs, annuities held inside a trust and taxation upon transfer during lifetime and upon death. Annuities and trusts are complex instruments, and a combination of the two may present unique tax, financial, and legal issues.
