Yes, if you cashed out the annuity, you'll receive Form 1099-R from the financial institution and you'll have to claim it on your income tax return. 

 

When you indicate in TurboTax that your IRA or plan was inherited, we'll ask a series of questions to determine how much, if any, is taxable on this year's return.

 

See Where do I enter my 1099-R?
