Is an Annuity Right for Your Texas Retirement?

Securing Your Long-Term Guaranteed Income

Many Texans nearing retirement wonder whether an annuity is the right choice for long-term income and peace of mind. The truth is annuities can offer safe, consistent, tax-deferred growth—but only when they’re matched to the right person and the right plan.

The Two Biggest Retirement Fears Annuities Can Address

For most retirees, two major financial concerns keep them up at night:

1. Longevity Risk: The fear of outliving your savings.

2. Market Volatility: The fear that a sudden stock market downturn will decimate your principal just as you need to start drawing income.

Annuities are designed to specifically mitigate these risks. By converting a lump sum into a guaranteed income stream, they can create a "personal pension" that lasts for the rest of your life, regardless of how long you live or how the market performs.

The Texas Advantage: Enhancing Tax-Deferred Growth

While the federal tax code governs most annuity rules, Texans have an added benefit:

• No State Income Tax: The money growing inside an annuity is tax-deferred. When you eventually withdraw the funds, it's treated as ordinary income for federal taxes. Since Texas does not have a state income tax, your withdrawals are only subject to federal income tax, thereby maximizing the benefit of the initial tax-deferred growth.
