I never really looked into annuities, but it seems one may make sense at this point. So I apologize for the rookie questions...
I am looking for an immediate, single life annuity for a 51 year old. Looking for around $2000, maybe up to $2500 month. I figure this will be around $450k.
1) When I put in the info at ImmediateAnnuities.com (the second column), they give me quotes. Don't I just pay them $450k and that's it? What is the quote for?
Then they ask about funding.
2) If I use a traditional IRA, I pay taxes and penalties on the yearly income correct?
3) If I use non-qualified funds, it's only partially taxed??
4) Roth funds - the same, partially taxed?
That is it for now. I am sure I will have more questions.
