Understand LIFO: Tax Implications on Annuity Withdrawals
When withdrawing from a non-qualified annuity, the taxation follows a Last In, First Out (LIFO) approach, meaning that any gains are taxed before the initial investment or cost basis.

It's crucial to consider these tax implications when planning distributions from annuities, especially in situations where funds are needed for essential expenses, such as long-term care.
