I have cashed in an a Brighthouse Variable Annuity Series VA account which had a value of 43,000.00  I received 39,000.00 in the form of a check.

I would now like to use that money to buy a house.  Is that a form of a Roll-Over?  How will this effect my taxes for 2021.?

Is there a time limit for me to do this?
