    Non-qualified tax deferred annuity distributions are taxed as ordinary income at the effective tax bracket rate of the annuity owner. There are beneficiary strategies or methods to extend or stretch the distributions.

    Yes. Growth in annuities is tax-deferred, not tax free. Gains are taxed as ordinary income. Even gains in "variable annuities" are taxed as ordinary income. Special taxation rules apply to spouses and to beneficiaries which determine when the tax must be paid. But gains are always taxed as ordinary income to the recipient.
