Let’s dig a little deeper on legacy planning and talk about taxes on the death benefit to the annuity beneficiary, both for a taxable and non-taxable account. Is a retirement annuity the most tax advantageous way to gift to a beneficiary at death? And while I am on the topic of a tax deferred account, such as an IRA, I will also discuss the payout options for a fixed index annuity since the Secure Act has changed how inherited IRAs are to be distributed to non-spousal beneficiaries.
