We are paid by Americo when you make a purchase. Commission rates are updated periodically and subject to change. In limited instances, Blueprint Income may receive higher compensation than the published commission rates based on achieving a certain level of sales volume or as a result of playing an expanded role in policy processing. This is an indirect cost to you, as it is already factored into the interest rate quoted.

At the end of the contract term, you can withdraw the money invested, reinvest it in another fixed annuity, or turn it into guaranteed income via annuitization. If you do nothing, any money left in the contract will continue to grow at the then-current interest rate with no new surrender charges. If the contract matures before you turn 59½, withdrawals (other than rollover to an IRA) will be charged a 10% penalty by the IRS.
Should you pass away before the end of your contract, the full account value of the annuity, including interest, will be passed to your beneficiary without any charges or fees.
Annuities receive special tax status as retirement savings vehicles. As such (and unlike with CDs), the interest that you accumulate will be tax deferred until it is withdrawn, even if that’s after the end of the term of the contract. Once withdrawals are made, the following taxable events may occur:
- If funded with personal post-tax savings, only the interest earned will be taxable, and it'll be taxed at ordinary income rates upon withdrawal.
- If funded with Traditional IRA savings, the entire balance (principal + gain) will be taxable upon withdrawal at ordinary income tax rates.
