Immediate Annuity Life Period Certain Estate Taxes

Have a client considering an immediate annuity (SPIA) Life and 5 year certain. If the client dies within the 5 year period and the beneficiary receives the remaining payments–what is considered in the client’s estate for tax purposes?



The amount the beneficiary will receive will be in client’s gross estate.



Is it the present value of the future payments or the actual payments the bene will receive?



PV. I believe the interest rate this month is 3.4 (or thereabouts).



thanks for all of the help.
