If the annuity is in a Roth IRA, all of the withdrawals will be tax-free as long as youâve had the Roth for five years and are older than 59Â½. Taxes are just one issue to consider when deciding whether or not to convert your annuity into a income stream, however.
In a nutshell, Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax money, while contributions to a traditional IRA may qualify for a tax deduction for the year the contribution was made. Contributions to an IRA for the 2016 tax year must be made by the tax-filing deadline in April. With the Roth, taxes are paid on the front end so that in retirement, all distributions -- including interest and earnings -- are tax-free. Conversely, the traditional IRA generally gets a tax advantage at the time the contribution is made, but distributions are taxed as ordinary income in retirement.
