Tax Deferred Annuities - Single Premium Deferred Annuity Tax deferred annuities are contracts for people who want to save on a tax-deferred basis for many years, and then convert to a payout once they retire. Being different than immediate annuities, tax deferred annuities do not become payable until a specified number of years after purchase. The single premium or regular premiums are capitalized during the deferred period, then the built up capital is converted into an annuity. What is a Single Premium Deferred Annuity A single premium deferred annuity, or SPDA, is an annuity you purchase with a single payment. You get a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period of time, and the taxes on the interest you earn are deferred until you make a withdrawal. Single Premium Deferred Annuities are ideal for anyone who wants to let their money grow risk-free while deferring income taxes, with the goal of creating income later in life. One of our most popular products is a single premium deferred annuity set at seven years at the fixed interest rate of 6.25%, a guaranteed rate considerably higher than investment CD's. Is a Single Premium Deferred Annuity Right For Me? Single Premium Deferred Annuities are excellent financial vehicles for many individuals either planning for retirement or already at a retirement age. Consider Single Premium Deferred Annuities if: - Your goal is to invest money with minimal risk and you are attracted to the security of other financial vehicles such as CD's and Treasuries
- It is likely that you are not going to need any of the money you are investing until after you are 59 ½ years old
- You do not need current income but will need income sometime after turning 59 ½ and you will likely be in an equal or lower tax bracket
- You are already 59 ½ (or older), you require current income, and the Single Premium Deferred Annuity offers a guaranteed interest rate that is higher than the interest rate on CD's and Treasuries.
