Annuities that do allow for withdrawals are those aimed at providing some growth in value over time. These types would include variable annuities, fixed index annuities, and deferred fixed annuities. These growth-oriented annuities are designed for long-term financial goals.
If you take your deferred compensation payments over a period of 10 years or more, those payments will be taxed in the state where you reside, rather than in the state in which you earned the compensation, possibly reducing your state income taxes.
