# LIFO

Last-In, First-Out (LIFO):
(1) An inventory valuation method that assumes the newest inventory (last-in) is sold first (first-out) (vs. FIFO).
(2) The method of determining the taxable portion of a random withdrawal from an annuity. Taxable earnings are treated as being withdrawn before the tax-free return of contributions.
