Sec. 1.1021-1  Sale of annuities.

    In the case of a transfer for value of an annuity contract to which 
section 72(g) and paragraph (a) of Sec. 1.72-10 apply, the transferor 
shall adjust his basis in such contract as of the time immediately prior 
to such transfer by subtracting from the premiums or other consideration 
he has paid or is deemed to have paid for such contract all amounts he 
has received or is deemed to have received under such annuity contract 
to the extent that such amounts were not includible in the gross income 
of the transferor or other recipient under the applicable income tax 
law. In any case where the amounts which were not includible in the 
gross income of the recipient were received or deemed to have been 
received by such transferor exceed the amounts paid or deemed paid by 
him, the adjusted basis of the contract shall be zero. The income 
realized by the transferor on such a transfer shall not exceed the total 
of the amounts received as consideration for the transfer.
