ANNUITIES DEFINED
Non-Qualified Annuity: An annuity plan in which contributions are funded with after-tax dollars. Taxes are not applied until distribution, as defined by IRS guidelines. Withdrawals are permitted any time after age 59 ½ without an IRS tax penalty. Earnings are tax-deferred until withdrawn, but the original contributions are tax free.
Traditional IRA: An annuity plan in which contributions are generally tax-deductible, subject to IRS guidelines. A Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) must be taken starting at age 72. All distributions are taxable.
ROTH IRA: An annuity plan in which contributions are not tax-deductible. Distributions are not taxed if IRS requirements are met. The Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules do not apply.
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRA: An employer-sponsored retirement plan offered by businesses that have 100 or fewer employees. The plan is similar to a TSA annuity, but offers simpler and less costly less complicated alternative to a 401(k) plan.
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA: A SEP IRA is a basic individual retirement account, much like a Traditional IRA. SEP IRAs are for business owners and self-employed individuals. Contributions are tax-deductible. Investments grow tax-deferred until retirement and distributions are taxed as income.
Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA): A retirement savings plan for employees of educational institutions, churches, and certain non-profit agencies. The plan gives employees the option to defer some of their salary into a tax-deferred account. Distributions are taxed as income. Withdrawals are permitted any time after age 59 ½ with an IRS tax penalty, but must begin by the year following the year in which you reach age 72.
