4 FOR AGENT USE ONLY-Not to be Distributed to the Public 4 Tax-Advantaged Approach American General’s Platinum Income Annuity enjoys tax-favored treatment under current federal income tax laws in four important areas.  1035 Exchanges / Trustee-to-Trustee Rollovers - Exchanging an annuity contract, or life insurance policy; or rolling over a qualified retirement plan or IRA to an immediate annuity is not a taxable event.  Exclusion Ratio- Premium from nonqualified or after tax dollars, a portion of each payment is taxable. Remainder of payment is return of principal until original principal has been received. This is an advantage over most deferred annuities which are considered return of interest first and are 100% taxable until all interest has been withdrawn.  Spreading Tax Liability- Premium from qualified or pretax dollars, taxable only when distributed. By spreading out tax liability over many years, an immediate annuity helps minimize annual tax bills.  Avoiding the 10% Tax Penalty for Distributions Before Age 59 ½ - Qualified funds distributions made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for life (or life expectancy) are exempt from the 10-percent tax penalty as per 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code. For nonqualified funds distributions, 72(q) allows for an exemption if an immediate annuity is purchased.
