INCOME FROM ANNUITIES
AND PENSIONS

Annuity payments are stipulated
amounts received yearly under an
investment contract usually made
with an insurance company for the
purpose of old-age security. Annui-
ties are taxable to the extent of
three per cent of the total pre-
miums or consideration paid by the
taxpayer for the annuity. For ex-
ample, if you have contributed a
total of 100000 to an annuity
fund, you pay an income tax on
$4,000 of that amount yearly even
though you may receive payments
of a much larger sum. Once the
taxpayer has received amounts
from the annuity which equal the
total premiums or consideration
paid under an annuity or endow-
ment policy, all amounts received
thereafter are taxable in full. That
is to say, after the basis has been
recovered, all further payments
received are income in full and are
subject in their entirety to the in
come tax. In the event an annuity
is paid for only portion of the
year, the tax is still based on three
per cent of the aggregate amount
paid into the annuity fund but that
figure is multiplied by the number
of months for which the annuity
has been paid and then divided by
twelve; the resulting figure is the
amount subject to the income tax.
Prior to the year 1889 the Govern
ment in many instances did not tax
amounts received as a retirement
annuity by city or state employees
and in some cases the employee re-
covered his entire cost (the amount
which he contributed to the annu-
ity fund.- tax-free. In that event,
it has been held by the Commits
sioner of internal Revenue, that
amounts received after 1889 are
taxable in their entirety. The fact
that the annuity is being paid TO
the widow of former employee
(and the widow rendered no serv-
ices to the employer) does not
change the nature of the income
and it is still taxable to her under
the three per cent rule until the
total amount received by the hus-
band during his life and the total
amount received by the widow
equal the amount paid into the an
nuity fund and any amounts re-
ceived by the widow in excess OF
the amount paid for the annuity
are taxable in full. In the case
where a man assigns a commercial
annuity contract for the benefit of
his former wife for the purpose
of meeting periodic alimony pay
ments, the amount received by the
wife is taxed in full and not on the
basis of three per cent OF the cost
of the annuity. In such case, the
entire amount received must be in
cIuded in her gross income and no
