If you take your money out early, you could be subject to an additional 10 percent federal income tax. In addition, withdrawals on tax-qualified contracts may be restricted by the IRS or your employer’s plan. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding any tax-favored products. While an annuity is not required in order to obtain tax deferral within a 403(b) or other tax-qualified retirement plan, an annuity offers additional benefits. In order to offer these benefits there are additional charges and fees in the annuity.
