Important Year-End Annuity Tax Reminders

RMD requests must be submitted by Friday, December 13 to process by year-end.

As the year draws to a close, it’s crucial to review your clients’ financial plans, especially if they hold annuities. Year-end tax planning can help them maximize their benefits and avoid potential pitfalls.
