Which Annuities Are Not Taxable?

Roth IRA annuities are not taxable as long as you have held the account for at least five years. This is because the money you contribute to a Roth IRA has already been taxed, so when you withdraw it in retirement, you will not owe any additional taxes on the withdrawal.

Note: Once a Roth annuity is depleted, any supplemental payments from the insurance company may be subject to tax, as they no longer originate from tax-exempt contributions or profits, contingent on the distribution method.
