Are Taxes Taking a Bite Out of Your Savings?
Consider the Advantages an Annuity Offers
The annual income taxes on a Certificate of Deposit (CD) can take a big bite out of your hard-earned savings. If your clients use CDs to regularly access money, consider a tax-deferred alternative. An annuity from The Standard can offer several ways to access annuity funds without penalty.
For individuals, The Standard’s tax-deferred annuities are protected from income taxes until withdrawals or regular distributions are taken. As a result, more money continues working for your clients instead of Uncle Sam.
