Defer paying taxes to keep more of your money working for you
Annuities are tax-deferred solutions. That means you pay taxes on any earnings only when they are withdrawn. You can also make allocation changes between the investment options in an annuity without triggering tax consequences. An annuity in a tax-deferred plan – such as an IRA – provides no additional tax benefit. It’s important to ensure your strategy is consistent with your investment objectives. Tax law changes can have a significant impact on your retirement portfolio. Talk to your Ameriprise financial advisor about a strategy that can help.
