The other two legs of that stool are personal saving through investment in securities, deferred annuities, savings accounts, etc., and Social Security retirement benefits. This course will examine qualified employee plans, their limits, and their tax treatment along with a discussion of annuities and their taxation.

As we will see in our examination of annuities, they provide owners with several advantages; the principal among them is their tax treatment.
