Impact of Health Care Reform on Retirement Products and Services Appears Minimal

Mutual of Omaha recently completed an analysis of the new health care reform bill as it affects retirement products and services. While there are still many unknowns, the initial impact appears to be minimal. Non-qualified annuities are the only retirement products Mutual offers that are directly affected by the bill.

Analysis of Annuities Provisions
Beginning in 2013, high-income individuals ($200,000 filing single returns, $250,000 filing joint returns) are subject to a 3.8 percent tax on unearned income. The tax is based on the lesser of total net investment income or the amount by which income exceeds the threshold. Investment income would include income from interest, annuities, dividends, royalties, rents and capital gains that are not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Distributions from tax-qualified plans are exempt.

We will continue to provide updates as more details emerge on how the reform measures will affect our industry.
