    Annuities Feedback: Ask your accountant about IRC 72t or 72q depending on if it’s qualified money or not. This may help you avoid penalties from the IRS, but any surrender penalties you may have will still be active.

    Annuities Feedback: That might be the worst thing to do. Annuity’s guarantee your income at the amount you invested or greater. Taking a full withdraw of your money could result in you losing thousands, depending upon your amount. With the market the way it is those individuals with an annuity may be the ones in the best situation.
