Sens. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Pat Roberts, R-Kan., have proposed the Retirement Security for Life Act, or S 1297, which would provide a 50% tax exclusion on the annual income from a non-qualified lifetime annuity, up to $20,000.

The Conrad-Roberts bill is similar to the Retirement Security Needs Lifetime Pay Act, HR 2748, which was proposed recently by Reps. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., and Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla.

That measure also would provide a 50% tax exclusion for a portion of lifetime-income payments from non-qualified annuities, up to $20,000, as well as a 25% tax exclusion for a portion of payments received under a qualified retirement plans.

The new Conrad-Roberts bill was referred to the Senate Finance Committee.

Just bought my first SMA and was very happy to have gone through Immediate Annuities.com. I found them in an article in the Wall Street Journal. As a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions. But to their credit, they did a great job answering my questions directly or getting the right answers from the right people when they needed to.
