tax-deferred annuity -- an investment vehicle generally used to create income for retirement. Pretax dollars are invested by an employer for an employee to provide a future stream of income to the employee for either a fixed number of years, or for life. Federal income tax on the pretax dollars invested and on the interest they earn is postponed until the retirement income is received.
