What Florida law says
What your agent owes you
An agent recommending an annuity must act in your best interest, without placing the agent's or the insurer's financial interest ahead of yours, and satisfy specific care, disclosure, conflict-of-interest, and documentation obligations to do it.

How Florida taxes annuity income
Florida's constitution bars a state income tax on individuals, so annuity income is not taxed at the state level.

Who regulates annuities in Florida
Fixed annuities are insurance products, so they are overseen by the state insurance department rather than by the SEC. The department licenses the carriers and the producers who sell them, and it takes consumer complaints.
The Florida guaranty association
Every state has a life and health insurance guaranty association that steps in when a member insurer fails. Coverage terms are set by state law and differ by state and by product. Contact the association directly for what applies to a specific contract.
