If you’re looking to sell structured settlements, note: sell structured settlement simply means selling and transferring present value structured settlements. You must always keep in mind that you’re not actually selling your settlement payments. Rather, you’re just transferring those present value payments into the right account and then selling the settlement payments off at the appropriate time. If you’re selling current structured settlements, you need to negotiate the best possible discount rate that you can get.
The difference between current structured settlements and sell structured settlements is the difference in the value of the payment as well as the interest. For example, let’s assume that a structured settlement is worth two hundred thousand dollars. When you sell a current structured settlement, you would only be receiving the payment and the accrued interest.
The reason that you should sell your present value structured settlements is because you have to pay taxes on the amount that you receive. Most states will tax the payment if you are using it for a mortgage, annuity, or other similar purpose.
Another reason that you need to sell your current structured settlements is because you would receive less from selling the settlement. If you’re in a lower tax bracket, selling your current settlement will help you get back a portion of the taxes that you have paid on your settlement payments. The benefit of doing this is that you won’t have to pay taxes on the difference between the value of your settlement and what you would receive through the sale. You’ll also have to pay taxes on the interest that you received on the settlement, and these are not taxable to you. You won’t have to pay taxes on the amount that you would be receiving by selling your settlement as well.
However, the amount that you would get from selling your current structured settlements would be less than what you would get through the sale of a lump sum of money. The reason for this is because you won’t receive any interest for the period of time that you own the settlement. The longer you hold onto the settlement, the more you’ll get in interest, but when you finally sell it you will lose all of that money. Also, you won’t get any tax breaks, and the federal and state taxes that you pay will go up in value.
Even though you may think that you get more money in a lump sum than in current structured settlements, the difference in the value between the two is quite large. You still need to sell your current structured settlements if you don’t want to give up all of the money that you earn from your settlement.
