Best Answer

The money you receive from the annuity is income. All income is supposed to be reported and taxes paid on it.

It depends upon where that money came from in your fathers estate. If this annuity came from your fathers annuity which was established from IRA or a 401K which had never paid taxes on -then the annuity now needs to pay the taxes.

If the annuity came from life insurance then their is no taxes to pay. If the annuity came from prepaid tax money there would be no taxes to pay. etc.

What Is the difference between an annuity and pension?

First of all, let's understand what the pension and annuity are. The pension is a consistent monthly income provided by Federal Govt. only to their employees after they retire.

While an annuity is an investment where anyone can invest an amount of savings and receive a consistent monthly income throughout their retirement life.
