What Illinois law says
What your agent owes you
An insurance producer recommending an annuity in Illinois must act in your best interest, without placing their own or the insurer's financial interest ahead of yours.

How Illinois taxes annuity income
Illinois starts from your federal adjusted gross income to compute state income tax, so the taxable portion of an annuity payment is taxed as ordinary Illinois income.

Who regulates annuities in Illinois
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 Illinois 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.
