Tax deferral
Help your clients keep their earnings growing
One of the advantages that annuities provide is tax deferral. It lets clients defer taxes on their annuity earnings and allows them to make changes to their annuity investment options without creating tax consequences – keeping more of their money in their contract and compounding over time.
The power of tax deferral over 25 years
| Before tax | After tax | |
|---|---|---|
| Tax-deferred investment | $429,187 | $320,555 |
| Taxable investment | $267,868 (taxed annually) |
Even after the tax-deferred investment has taxes paid upon lump sum withdrawal, it still results in quite a bit more than the annually-taxed investment. That’s the power of tax deferral.
This hypothetical example assumes a $100,000 initial investment with a 6% rate of return, no withdrawals over a 25-year period, and a 33% ordinary income tax bracket. It is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict or project investment results.
Options for customization

Just four steps
We’ve put links to everything you need to start selling all in one convenient location.
Start sellingAn annuity is intended to be a long-term, tax-deferred retirement vehicle. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, and if withdrawn before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If the annuity will fund an IRA or other tax qualified plan, the tax deferral feature offers no additional value. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are generally excluded from gross income, but taxes and penalties may apply to nonqualified distributions. Please consult a tax advisor for specific information. There are charges and expenses associated with annuities, such as surrender charges (deferred sales charges) for early withdrawals. Variable annuities have additional expenses such as mortality and expense risk, administrative charge, investment management fees and rider fees. Variable sub-accounts of annuities are subject to market fluctuation, investment risk and loss of principal.
MultiOption Advantage variable annuity and the optional benefits may not be approved in all states and features may vary by state. Not available in New York. The guarantees in Advantage are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of Minnesota Life. The guarantees have no bearing on the performance of the variable investment options.
The MyPath suite of optional lifetime income benefits establish a benefit base for calculating guaranteed annual income. The benefit base provides no minimum contract value or investment return and is not available for withdrawal. Withdrawals exceeding allowed guidelines, or taken before the benefit date, may have a negative impact on the guarantees of these optional living benefits. All withdrawals reduce the contract value. These benefits cannot be cancelled and require use of an approved asset allocation strategy. The guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of Minnesota Life. The guarantees have no bearing on performance of the variable investment options. These benefits are available on a single or joint life basis for an additional cost with a variable annuity and are based on state approval. Certain MyPath benefits may be selected on a Plus or Joint 50 basis. These options may provide a greater initial stream of annual income with a reduction in annual income upon occurrence of specified events.
We reserve the right to limit or discontinue acceptance of future purchase payments after the contract is issued. This may limit the ability to increase the contract value through additional purchase payments. If an optional benefit is elected in the contract, this may also limit the ability to increase the value used to calculate the optional benefit.
Some products and optional features may not be available in all states and features may vary by state. Variable products are not available in New York. Not all products, features and optional benefits are available from all selling broker-dealers and certain products may not be sold in combination. Please consult with your firm before providing any products/services or materials listed here.
Guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. The guarantees have no bearing on the variable investment performance.
