Inheriting non-spousal annunity
I'm 63, cost basis $160000, gain $200000. Bank advisor offered indexed variable annunity, 10 year spread. Anyone familiar with these? I have no experience with annunities. Trying to figure out whether to take lump sum and just pay the $70000 tax bill or do the annunity. If I take the annunity I'd put it into index mutual funds. My situation is very simple...I have no income, lots of savings, no mortgage on home, no tax deductions. If take annunity, goal.would be income I guess. Not taking social security, maybe take at 65.or wait until 70...

I would never buy an annuity. The advisor is recommending it because they want to make a commission on your money that will be about 10 percent of the cost. So, if you invest $360,000 in the annuity, the advisor will make about $36,000. I very nice pay day. Don't do it without doing a lot of research on annuities. They are almost never a good investment.
On a $200,000 long term capital gain, the tax should only be about $30,000, which is 15 percent, unless there are other circumstances. |
I’d take the money, run and stay out of the stock market.

I would talk to a fee only financial adviser.

OK, a commercial finance manager here, and this board is not the place to find the best answer for your particular situation. Please find a fee only, independent CFP, and ask him to build you a model of your cash flow versus your assets and your tax situation. Living off of assets versus living off of income is not the best situation

finance guy who wants to get his That seems extreme to just get a tax question answered. Also I'm staying liquid to possibly buy a small farm in the next year or two. Monthly expenses are only $1200 mo currently. |

I would seriously consider just paying the capital gains tax and invest the money in a conservative portfolio of Vanguard index mutual funds. 30 percent S&P 500 Index Fund, 30 percent Short Term Bond Index Fund, and 40 percent money market fund. Then, do some independent research on investing before making any more financial decisions. |
