TAX DIVERSIFICATION AND THE ADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES
|
|
Your clients must pay taxes during at least one of three time periods: contribution, accumulation, or distribution. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the IRS effectively allows you to pick which phase their savings will be taxed during via the use of different financial products.
Furthermore, while it may not feel like it, current effective federal tax rates are near historic lows. And with the Congressional Budget Office projecting that the total Federal debt is set to explode over the next 10 years, it’s reasonable to wonder if your clients’ effective tax rates will be higher in the future. Which is when traditional retirement vehicles, such as 401(k)s and IRAs, would be at their highest values and expected to be called upon to begin providing distributions.
Thankfully, life insurance policies that accumulate value are one of the few options that are not taxed during accumulation and have tax-advantaged methods of distribution. So consider suggesting life insurance to your clients as a tax diversification strategy and help protect them against the risk of future tax increases.
Below you’ll find resources to help you describe the tax advantages of annuities and life insurance to your clients. Review and call me to discuss how we can help you implement these strategies into your practice!

The stock market can be an uncomfortable place for some clients.
Consider these three recent bull markets*:
- 1997-2000: Up 100% before declining 86%
- 2003-2008: Up 90% before declining 53%
- 2009-2014: Up 142%… where do you think the market will go from here? Now could be a great time to exercise a “correction protection” strategy for your clients by investing in the Protective Indexed Annuity II.
If you have clients nearing retirement who are concerned about another decline, ,help them exercise “correction protection” by taking their gains out of the market and investing it in the Protective Indexed Annuity II. This solution provides protected growth, opportunities for higher returns, and even offers secure retirement income with SecurePay SE, an optional withdrawal benefit.

Is your client’s non-qualified annuity or qualified annuity where it needs to be?
According to Gallup’s 2009 survey of non-qualified annuity owners:
- 81 percent surveyed intend to use their annuity as a financial resource to avoid being a financial burden on children.
- 73 percent surveyed intent to use their annuity as an emergency fund in the case of a catastrophic illness or for nursing home care.
Make sure your clients’ annuities are aligned with their intentions.
The Pension Protection Act (PPA)allows for income tax-free withdrawals from specially designed non-qualified annuities to fund long-term care expenses, regardless of cost basis. By exchanging a current annuity for an annuity that qualifies for the PPA advantages, your clients can be matched with a vehicle that can meet their needs while providing a tax advantage. Of course, before any annuity exchange is made, all factors should be weighed to verify the client’s best interest.
