Indiana computes state income tax starting from your federal adjusted gross income, with only a partial exclusion for federal civil service annuities, so most annuity income is taxed as ordinary Indiana income.

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.
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.
