Frequently asked questions
Questions? Ash Answers.
What is a 1035 exchange?

A 1035 exchange is the exchange of an insurance contract for another that meets all the requirements of Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC 1035). When a contract is exchanged under IRC 1035, the gain or loss of the exchanged contract is transferred to the new contract. Requirements for non-taxable treatment include:

  • The owner and the insured/annuitant on both contracts must be identical
  • The contract being exchanged must be in force. If the contract is maturing, the 1035 exchange must be signed prior to the maturity date

What does it mean to annuitize?

To annuitize is to convert the accumulated value of an annuity into a stream of income. The payments may be a fixed amount for a fixed period of time or for a lifetime.
