If it was non-IRA, you have up to 5 years to pay the taxes either all now or equally over 5 years.
No matter what it is taxable ordinary income and your tax rate that goes with it.
If you have no current taxable income as you mentioned it would make much more sense to liquidate it over time and pay at lower tax rates as this would be your only income.

It's a non-IRA annunity. Do you know if the 5 year thing is just stretching the amount in the existing annunity or if I would need to take out a whole new annunity?
