Section 1035 Exchange
A tax-free exchange of an existing annuity contract for a new one. Investopedia Says:
In order for the new contract to qualify as a Section 1035 Exchange, the policyholder must have exchanged his or her existing contract for an equivalent new contract. The annuitant or policyholder must also remain the same. Application of a check received for the old contract against the new contract does NOT qualify. Related Terms:
