Fixed Annuities are long term insurance contacts and there is a surrender charge imposed generally during the first 5 to 7 years that you own the annuity contract. Withdrawals prior to age 59-1/2 may result in a 10% IRS tax penalty, in addition to any ordinary income tax. Any guarantees of the annuity are backed by the financial strength of the underlying insurance company.

People do this every day with 401ks/ IRAs and the future taxes- the government is their general partner in these plans! Talk with more people and set up a social media network to reach more people.
