With an immediate annuity, not all of your income may be taxable. You can determine the non-taxable portion by calculating an exclusion ratio, which is your investment divided by the expected return. This ratio helps you find out how much of each annuity payment is tax-free and how much is taxable. Your annuity provider should offer the necessary information to help with these calculations.
