Tax Reporting for non-qualified variable annuity at surrender

Where on a 1040 is the full surrender proceeds of a non-tax qualified variable annuity reported.  There is some basis (exclusion ratio) and some additional increase is value.  Is this value capital gains or is it taxed as ordinary income?  I have not been able to see where to enter it on my 1040.  This is not following a death but an early complete distribution of the annuity.  No withdrawals have ever been taken on the annuity.  Thank you.
