Explanation

Why AExchange one annuity contract for another without triggering a taxable event

A Section 1035 exchange permits a tax-free exchange of one insurance product for a similar product (e.g., annuity to annuity, life insurance to annuity). No taxable gain is triggered. However, surrender charges on the old contract may still apply. A 1035 exchange cannot convert an annuity to an IRA (C). This provision encourages appropriate product changes without tax penalties.
