Interest was recieved monthly and claimed on taxes. The value of the annuity is less then what they purchased it for.
If you bought an annuity for 100K and decided to close it are their tax consequences?

If you paid all your income taxes on the interest then all your interest is not taxable when you with drawl, thanks to the no double taxation laws.
Assuming you do not owe taxes on the principal amount before you put the funds into the annuity then you will not owe any when it comes out.

If you surrender your annuity for less than its basis, the loss can usually be deducted on Schedule A as a miscellaneous deduction subject to 2% of your AGI.
You have to be completely surrendering your annuity, and the annuity could not have come from another sheltered investment.

As long as it is not qualified (pre-tax) money you should have no tax consequences.
