Can You Write Off Annuity Contributions?
Short answer: No: buying a personal annuity isn't deductible; only annuities inside an IRA or employer plan get pre-tax treatment.
Earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawn.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
