WHAT IS A TRANSFER PAYOUT ANNUITY FOR AFTER-TAX RETIREMENT ANNUITY?
The Transfer Payout Annuity (TPA) for After-Tax Retirement Annuity (ATRA) is an option for transferring all of your
TIAA Traditional account balances in 10 payments over 9 years to an alternate investment company.
Since the TIAA portfolio is made up of long-term investments, transfers can only be made in 10 payments
over 9 years.
Once established, an ATRA TPA contract cannot be converted to any other income option.
CHOOSING THE TIAA TRADITIONAL AMOUNT
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations generally require that you settle your entire TIAA contract (TIAA
Traditional and Real Estate) if you want a Transfer Payout Annuity. If you have money in the TIAA Real Estate
Account, you should:
move the money in your Real Estate Account to your CREF variable annuity accounts as an IRS Section
1035 Exchange, or;
transfer that amount to your TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulation, or;
request a cash withdrawal of your Real Estate Account accumulation.
This exchange, transfer, or withdrawal must be completed before your Transfer Payout Annuity can be
issued. If we did not include the forms for these transactions, please call us.
NOTE: Transfers and 1035 exchanges from the Real Estate Account are limited to one each calendar quarter.
RETURNING YOUR AUTHORIZATION
Your Authorization is for a tax-free transfer from your TIAA After-Tax Retirement Annuity to another insurance
company. This type of transfer is called a “1035 Exchange” by the Internal Revenue Service. You are
authorizing the transfer of the payment and a partial surrender of the contract to the other company. We
must receive your completed Authorization with the other insurance companys 1035 Exchange form in
order to make your transfer.
ABOUT FEDERAL REPORTING
Moving your TIAA Real Estate Account accumulation to your TIAA Traditional accumulation is a tax-free transfer.
Moving your TIAA Real Estate Account accumulation and your TIAA Transfer Payout Annuity transfer payments
to another insurance company is a 1035 exchange, which is a tax-free exchange but must be reported to the
Internal Revenue Service.

6. YOUR AUTHORIZATION AND SIGNATURE
By signing below, you agree that:
You will return your completed Authorization with a 1035 Exchange form from the insurance company that
is accepting your initial transfer;
The date your Transfer Payout Annuity contract is issued cannot be prior to the receipt of all necessary papers;
Once your Transfer Payout Annuity contract is issued, it cannot be revoked nor can the amount be changed;
You authorize the continuation of the beneficiaries under the original contract listed in Section 2. Once the
contract is issued, you reserve the right to change this designation at any time.
You hereby authorize this payment and a partial surrender of the above-referenced contract accumulation
to the designated accepting insurance company;
You intend this transfer to be part of an exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1035; no part of
the contract accumulation shall be received actually or constructively by you;
You represent and warrant that no person, firm or corporation has an interest in the captioned contract
except the undersigned, and that no proceedings of either a legal or equitable nature are pending which
might affect said contract;
You represent that a copy of this original assignment shall be as valid as original;
As the insurance company accepting this transfer the alternate investment company requests full
surrender of the above-referenced contract. The surrender represents the transfer of funds in 10 payments
over 9 years to the alternate investment company and qualifies as a 1035 Exchange.
For your protection, TIAA may require additional verification of your identity before accepting your transaction
as in good order. You agree that your transaction will be valued as of the market close on the business day
that all of the steps necessary to verify your identity and the transaction to be in good order have been
completed. You also agree that in the event these steps are completed after the market close on a business
day, then your transaction will be valued as of the market close on the next business day. The amount
of money that you receive will depend on the share or unit price on the day on which your transaction is
deemed to be in good order. Due to market fluctuations, the price your shares or units ultimately receive
could be less than the share or unit price when you initiated this transaction. It is also possible that if we
are unable to reach you to verify this transaction within 5 days, this transaction may be canceled.
Please sign your full
legal name with suffix, if
applicable, using black
or dark blue ink, or online
using TIAAs digital signing
experiences. Non-TIAA digital
signatures, such as signing
with Adobe Acrobat, are
not accepted.
Under penalties of perjury, I certify that: (1) The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer
identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); and (2) I am not subject to
backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure
to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup
withholding; and (3) I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person; and (4) The FATCA code(s) entered on this
form (if any) indicating that I am exempt from FATCA reporting is correct.
