What is a *Section 1035 Contract Exchange?* correct answers Section 1035 Exchange refers to
the replacement of an annuity or life insurance policy for a new one without incurring any tax
consequence for the exchange. The following exchanges of insurance contracts are considered
tax-free by the IRS: replacing one annuity contract for another annuity contract with identical
annuitant replacing one life insurance policy for another life insurance policy, endowment policy
or annuity contract replacing one endowment policy for an identical endowment policy or an
annuity contract Any other variation from those acceptable exchanges listed above (annuity
contract for life insurance) will not be considered a tax-free exchange. The IRS has provided
strict guidelines that the owner, insured and annuitant must be the same on the new contract as
listed on the old in order to qualify for the tax-free treatment. The contract must also exchange
directly between the insurance companies to retain the tax-free status. The IRS has ruled in
several previous cases that if an owner cashes out of a current contract and immediately applies
the proceeds to a new contract it will not be treated as a tax-free event or Section 1035
Exchange.

Contract Exchange? correct answers In order to replace outdated contracts with new contracts
with improved benefits, lower fees and different investment options.
