The additional 10% income tax typically imposed on qualified retirement plan distributions can be avoided by three methods utilizing substantially similar periodic payments. Payments based on amortization, an annuity factor, or life expectancy can be used to obtain this exception. The exception may also be available in hardship distributions, or distributions involving 401(a) qualified plans, profit-sharing plans, and multiple IRAs.

Rating actions in 2009 were overwhelmingly negative for the life/health industry, with 69 total downgrades versus nine upgrades based upon rating units. As in past years, the life/annuity sector had far worse experience than the health sector in terms of rating activity. Due to the uncertain direction of the economy, A.M. Best is maintaining its negative rating outlook on the life/annuity and health insurance sectors. Weakened capitalization was the primary factor in the life/annuity downgrades. Heightened balance sheet risk from investment losses or elevated investment risk also were behind many of the downgrades. The few positive life/annuity rating upgrades were driven by improved capitalization and factors such as change in ownership or parental support.

D. 9448, under Section 7520, provides guidance relating to the use of actuarial tables in valuing annuities, interests for life or terms of years, and remainder or reversionary interests. The regulations will affect the valuation of inter vivos and testamentary transfers of interests dependent on one or more measuring lives. The regulations are unnecessary because Section 7520(c)(3) directs the Secretary to update the actuarial tables to reflect the most recent mortality experience available.
