Distributions of basis are tax free. You only pay taxes on an annuity when distributions are made or at the death of the annuitant.

    Annuities are taxed when benefits are distributed.  If the annuity is a part of a Roth IRA or Roth 403(b) the benefit is tax free if the contract is at least five years old and the annuitant is 59.5 years old.  Tax treatment of other annuities depends on the portion of the annuity that was purchased with after-taxed dollars, in which case the taxation is on the interest earned.  If the annuity is inside an IRA or 403(b) it will be taxed as ordinary income.
