Frequently asked questions

What types of annuities can be exchanged under a 1035 exchange?

The types of exchanges allowed under a 1035 exchange include:

  • Non-qualified annuity to non-qualified annuity – You can exchange one non-qualified annuity for another.
  • Life insurance to annuity – You can exchange a life insurance policy for an annuity, but not the other way around. This can be beneficial for those who no longer need life insurance but want to continue growing tax-deferred savings in an annuity.

The key benefit of a 1035 exchange is that it allows for tax deferral on any gains accumulated in the original policy or contract because your money is simply moved from one annuity product to another.

Are there any fees associated with 1035 exchanges?

A 1035 exchange does not incur any direct fees. However, it’s important to be aware of potential costs from the insurance company you’re transferring your funds from. Some insurance companies may charge surrender fees if you’re exchanging your annuity before the end of its surrender period. Always check with your current provider to understand if surrender charges or other penalties apply before initiating a 1035 exchange.

How do I do a 1035 exchange to Gainbridge®?

To transfer your annuity via 1035 exchange, complete our online application and let us know what insurance company you’re transferring from. Then we’ll take it from here! Gainbridge® will request the funds from your insurance company and activate your annuity.

What’s the difference between rollovers, transfers, and 1035 exchanges?

  • Rollovers: Move funds between qualified retirement accounts (e.g., 401(k), IRA to an annuity).
  • Transfers: A direct, tax-free movement of assets between like-kind accounts (e.g., annuity to annuity), done directly between financial institutions.
  • 1035 Exchange: A tax-free exchange of non-qualified annuities or life insurance policies. Used to move from one non-qualified product to another without triggering taxes on gains.
