Annuity FAQs — Ohio
How is annuity income taxed in Ohio?
In Ohio, annuity distributions are taxed as ordinary income at state rates up to 3.5%. For non-qualified annuities, only the earnings portion is taxable; for qualified annuities (IRA-funded), the entire distribution is taxable. Combined with federal income tax, annuity recipients in Ohio should plan for total effective rates of 25–40%+.
Does Ohio have any special rules for retirement annuity income?
Ohio follows federal rules for most annuity income. Some states offer partial exemptions for pension and retirement income — check Ohio's Department of Revenue for current rules, as these can change. The calculator above helps you project pre-tax annuity values; consult a tax professional for net-of-tax income planning.
Should I buy an annuity if I live in Ohio?
Annuity holders in Ohio face 3.5% state income tax on distributions in addition to federal tax. This reduces the net income from the annuity. Compare the annuity's effective yield after state and federal taxes against alternatives like municipal bonds (which may be state-tax-exempt) or other investments.
What is the present value of $1,000/month for 20 years in Ohio?
The present value calculation is the same regardless of state — it depends only on the payment amount, interest rate, and term. At 5% annual interest compounded monthly, $1,000/month for 20 years has a present value of approximately $151,525. In Ohio, each monthly payment will be reduced by state income tax of up to 3.5%, so the effective after-tax stream is lower than in no-tax states.
What annuity rate should I expect in Ohio in 2026?
Annuity rates are set by insurance companies nationally — they do not vary by state. In 2026, immediate income annuity rates for a 65-year-old range from approximately 5–7% effective yield depending on the insurer, type, and term. Fixed deferred annuities offer 4–6% guaranteed rates. State income tax in Ohio affects the after-tax yield but not the quoted annuity rate. Always compare net-of-tax yield when evaluating annuities.
