An Equity Indexed Annuity can be set up using funds from either Qualified or Non-Qualified accounts.
What are Qualified Accounts?
Any type of IRA (Individual Retirement Account), 401 (k)'s from previous employment, 403(b)'s (retirement accounts set up through employment with a non-profit organization), and any other account considered to be Tax Qualified by the IRS.
What are Non-Qualified Accounts?
Non-Qualified Accounts include any type of personal account (non-IRA). These may include CD's, checking, savings, money market accounts, stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Many Equity Indexed Annuities have a minimum deposit requirement.

You will not receive a 1099 for the gains within an Equity Indexed Annuity as long as those gains stay in the contract. |
