are there required minimum distributions
0:03
for annuities very good question hi
0:05
there I'm Stan the annuity man America's
0:07
annuity agent licensed in all 50 states
0:10
we're going to talk about required
0:12
minimum distributions rmds and annuities
0:15
and how all that stuff works after
0:26
this all right we're going to talk about
0:28
required minimum distributions are d s
0:30
from here on end I'm going to say rmds
0:31
because required minimum distributions
0:34
it's kind of hard to say fast and I like
0:36
to talk fast as you know so rmds with
0:39
annuities how's that all work first of
0:40
all let's talk about annuities in
0:42
general I love when people say I hell no
0:45
I hell n you already own one it's called
0:48
Social Security and then I love the the
0:50
people the financial journalists and
0:53
some actual financial advisers that'll
0:55
say the stupid thing like never put an
0:58
annuity inside of an right I need those
1:01
people to stop talking because as you're
1:03
talking you're getting dumber and I'm
1:05
getting Dumber listening to you that's
1:06
the dumbest thing on the planet can
1:09
annuities types be used inside of
1:13
IRAs the answer is absolutely now why
1:17
would you do that Stan the annuity man
1:18
America's annuity agent why would you
1:20
buy an annuity type and put it inside of
1:23
an IRA well very good very good question
1:26
here's the answer you ear an annuity for
1:27
what it will do not what it might do the
1:28
will do is the contractual guarantees of
1:30
the policy so if you're using Ira money
1:33
to buy an annuity of any type you're
1:35
buying it for the contractual guarantees
1:37
of the policy no there's not double tax
1:39
deferral you know annuity deferred
1:41
annuities outside of an IRA the uh the
1:43
gains can grow tax deferred so if you're
1:46
putting it inside of an IRA the money or
1:48
the annuity inside of an IRA you already
1:51
have tax referral in the ira so you're
1:53
buying it for the contractual guarantees
1:55
here's the other one that sends that
1:57
these really nice hats these standy man
1:59
hats off my head involuntarily is when
2:02
people say
2:04
never right wait a minute a qualified
2:08
longevity annuity contract which was
2:11
introduced in
2:12
2014 by our friends at the IRS in the
2:15
department of the treasury is designed
2:17
for use in an
2:20
IRA so for all you people out there that
2:23
are misinformed uninformed or just don't
2:26
know about that qualified longevity
2:29
annuity contract CA you I've written a
2:31
book on it you can go to my site at
2:32
theanu man.com I'll send it to you for
2:33
free and under no obligation QX pension
2:37
products for use in your IRA your
2:40
traditional IRA so not only can
2:42
annuities be used inside of an IRA there
2:44
is a specific annuity type that was
2:46
designed for use inside of an IRA which
2:49
brings us back to rmds what are rmds in
2:53
the southern form rmds is the IRS going
2:55
um uh excuse me um excuse me uh excuse
2:58
me we the IRS and um we would like for
3:00
you to start paying taxes on all that
3:01
money you've been deferring all this
3:02
time that's rmds and at the time of this
3:06
taping at age
3:08
72 they're going to tap you on the
3:10
shoulder excuse me uh excuse me uh
3:12
excuse me where the IRS you're going to
3:14
have to start taking out a percentage of
3:16
your IRA assets Total IRA assets to
3:20
satisfy that required minimum
3:22
distribution okay used to be 70 and a
3:25
half I don't know why it was ever a half
3:28
and now it's 72 and there's actually
3:29
talk at the time of this Taping that um
3:31
our friends at DC want to raise that
3:33
required minimum distribution even
3:35
higher to say age 75 who knows what's
3:37
going to happen but right now at the
3:38
time of this taping it's age 72 so then
3:42
the question is can I take do I have to
3:45
take
3:46
rmds from my annuity let's just say for
3:50
instance you have an indexed annuity or
3:52
a multi-year guarantee annuity inside of
3:54
your IRA now multi-year guarantee
3:57
annuity and an index annuity those are
3:59
CD type products fixed products issued
4:01
at the state level for principal
4:03
protection so the answer to that
4:05
question is you don't have to take your
4:07
rmds from those um products but you can
4:10
when the IRS wants their required
4:12
minimum distribution they don't want it
4:14
in proportion on every product held
4:16
inside the IRA all the IRS cares about
4:19
is that percentage where you take it
4:21
from is up to you you could take it from
4:23
one mutual fund inside of the IRA you
4:26
could take it in proportion if you want
4:27
to but you do not have to so if you have
4:29
a multi-year guarantee annuity inside of
4:31
an IRA or an index annuity inside of an
4:33
IRA you don't have to take required
4:35
minimum distributions from that asset
4:38
let's look at single premium immediate
4:40
annuities inside of your IRA for
4:42
Lifetime income that's what a single
4:44
premium immediate annuity provides let's
4:46
say say you have a $500,000 IRA and you
4:50
buy a $200,000 single premium immediate
4:53
annuity that pays for your life with a
4:55
cash refund meaning that when your lar
4:57
jet hits the mountain money in the
4:58
account go whatever's remaining goes to
5:01
your list of beneficiaries of the policy
5:03
okay but let's just say you buy that
5:04
$200,000 immediate anity with IRA funds
5:07
and you have $500,000 in your IRA when
5:09
you go and take your required minimum
5:12
distributions you're going to be taking
5:14
those required minimum distributions
5:16
from the
5:17
$300,000 that's not in the immediate
5:20
annuity the income from the immediate
5:22
annuity that $200,000 that you bought
5:24
that's coming out will satisfy that
5:27
required minimum distribution for the
5:30
Assets in that immediate annuity you
5:33
can't use any overage from that to apply
5:35
to non- annuity assets so that leads us
5:38
to qualified longevity annuity contracts
5:42
qualified longevity annuity contracts
5:44
cacs were put on the planet as I said
5:46
earlier in the in the in the video from
5:48
by our friends at the IRS and the
5:50
department of the treasury so that you
5:52
can establish a future pension payout
5:55
okay using Ira assets most people that
5:58
are buying CAC are buying it and setting
6:00
it up for joint lifetime income payments
6:03
with their spouse so if they die their
6:05
spouse gets the income uninterrupted and
6:08
unchanged for as long as they're living
6:10
but you're using your IRA assets so
6:12
let's just say you're Johnny Trader out
6:14
there and your wife is Betty Trader and
6:17
Johnny Trader is the best Trader on the
6:19
planet but he has this big IRA and he
6:21
sets up this CAC for Johnny and Betty to
6:24
have a joint lifetime income stream
6:25
started at age 80 or you can go as far
6:27
out as age 85 you don't have to go that
6:29
far but that's when you have to turn on
6:31
income that's the fartherest furtherest
6:33
the IRS allows you to go that income
6:36
stream is set up for Betty and a lot of
6:38
you Masters of the Universe out there
6:40
that would never consider an annuity
6:42
because you can do better with
6:43
Investments I hope you can I mean
6:45
annuities are contracts in this case a
6:47
CAC is a pension payment but most people
6:49
that are buying them are buying them
6:51
right now to set up a lifetime income
6:53
stream for your spouse a legacy product
6:55
for lack of a better phrase give you a
6:57
good example my wife of 30
7:00
years a lot of years she should I mean I
7:02
don't what she's doing anyway she could
7:04
care less about stocks and bonds and all
7:06
that stuff all she cares about is seeing
7:08
seeing her daughters going to see her
7:10
daughters and there will be
7:11
grandchildren in the future and then
7:12
she's going to probably move there
7:14
that's all she cares about so what she
7:15
wants me to do is set up lifetime income
7:17
streams so that she can go do that when
7:19
my le jet hits them out no I don't have
7:21
a Lear jet but I'd like the lease one if
7:22
you have one for lease just give me a
7:23
call I still wouldn't do it but anyway
7:26
that's what she cares about and maybe
7:27
your spouse is the same way
7:30
so are there required minimum
7:31
distributions for annuities the answer
7:33
is yes if you have annuities inside like
7:36
deferred annuities inside of your IRA
7:39
they have to be part of the overall
7:42
calculation but that doesn't mean you
7:44
have to take it in proportion you can
7:46
take your rmds from the annuities if you
7:48
want or another asset but it is part of
7:51
the overall calculation I encourage you
7:53
to go to my site at the annuity man.com
7:55
so that we can have a one-on-one
7:56
conversation about this and put together
7:58
a customer plan for rmds whether it's
8:01
using an immediate annuity or or a Miga
8:04
or an index annuity or even a CAC so
8:06
that we can customize a plan for either
8:08
principal protection or lifetime income
8:10
