Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended July 31, 2012. Our report offers investment performance and portfolio information, presented with the expert perspective of our portfolio management team.

This report remains one of our most important vehicles for conveying information about fund returns, as well as market factors and strategies that affected fund performance. For additional, updated information, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com. Click on the “Fund Performance” and “Insights & News” headings at the top of our Individual Investors site.

Flight to Quality as Economic and Financial Uncertainties Resurfaced
 
During the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, the global economy and financial markets struggled to move beyond the lingering aftereffects of the 2008 Financial Crisis and Great Recession. Global economic fundamentals have improved since 2008, but weakened since 2010, with increased uncertainty surrounding near-term economic growth levels in major developed economies such as the U.S., Japan, and Europe. There were also questions about near-term growth levels in emerging economies such as China, and about possible sovereign debt defaults in southern Europe.

These near-term uncertainties manifested themselves in asset returns for the 12 months ended July 31, 2012. Assets perceived to be “safe-haven” investments rallied—the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posted a 38% total return. At the other end of the spectrum, international stock returns for U.S. investors were undermined by a combination of risk-averse investing attitudes, weakening global economic growth, and a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro and other currencies. Commodity prices also declined during the period.

Unfortunately, the instability that triggered much of this flight-to-quality trading remains largely in place, and the coming months may bring additional uncertainties about U.S. presidential election results and what might happen when U.S. tax cuts and other stimulative measures expire in 2013 (the “Fiscal Cliff”). In this uncertain, unstable environment, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using both stocks and bonds, as appropriate. We appreciate your continued trust in us during these unsettled times.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Independent Chairman’s Letter

Don Pratt

 
Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The assets under management in American Century Investments’ funds grow through investors placing new assets in the funds and through market appreciation. Asset growth has been at near record levels over the past two calendar years as market movements were upward, the funds’ relative returns were generally favorable, and the distribution strategies implemented by fund management have been successful.

The board reviews fund performance and distribution strategies on a regular basis. Several years ago, the fund’s management team discussed with the board its plans to grow fund assets in the intermediary, institutional and international distribution channels. These distribution strategies have produced strong positive growth. The growth in the intermediary channel recognizes the funds’ strong relative investment performance and the desire of many shareholders to seek financial guidance. Investors in both the institutional and international channels appear to find the funds’ risk-based investment strategies attractive. The board continues to support fund management’s strategies to increase fund assets and will continue to work to provide the benefits of these gains to fund shareholders.

We continue to receive a steady flow of very thoughtful questions from shareholders. If there are issues that you would like the board to address please email me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com. Thank you for your continued investment in American Century Investments funds.

Best regards,
Don Pratt

A Class shares have a 5.75% maximum initial sales charge and may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00%. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00%. The SEC requires that mutual funds provide performance information net of maximum sales charges in all cases where charges could be applied.

The Russell 3000 Index represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market and provides a broad measure of equity performance. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market and provides a broad measure of bond market performance. Performance for these indices is provided for reference only. Neither index is intended to represent the composition of the portfolio, which invests in a mix of equity and fixed-income securities. (See the Schedule of Investments for the LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s asset allocations as of the date of this report.)
 
Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. A LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s target date is the approximate year when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The principal value of the investment is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. The performance of LIVESTRONG Portfolios is dependent on the performance of their underlying American Century Investments funds, and will assume the risks associated with these funds. The risks will vary according to each LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s asset allocation, and a fund with a later target date is expected to be more volatile than one with an earlier target date.  
 
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. Data assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and none of the charts reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns for the indices are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as administrative fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the indices do not.

Portfolio Commentary

 
Portfolio Managers: Enrique Chang, Scott Wittman, Rich Weiss, and Scott Wilson

In April 2012, portfolio manager Irina Torelli left American Century Investments.

Performance Summary
 
Each of the ten LIVESTRONG Portfolios advanced for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, with returns ranging from 3.67%* for LIVESTRONG 2050 Portfolio to 5.81% for LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio (see pages 4–18 for more detailed performance information). The gains for the 12-month period reflected positive returns in the U.S. stock and bond markets, tempered by declines in international stocks and bonds.

Because of LIVESTRONG Portfolios’ strategic exposure to a variety of asset classes, a review of the financial markets helps explain much of their performance.

Stock Market Review
 
The U.S. stock market faced significant volatility during the 12 months ended July 31, 2012, but ultimately posted positive overall returns. As the reporting period began, stocks were in the midst of an accelerating market decline as evidence of a slowdown in U.S. economic activity and a worsening sovereign debt crisis in Europe put downward pressure on the equity market.

In early October, however, the stock market bottomed and reversed course, enjoying a substantial rebound through the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. Investors grew more optimistic as signs of improving economic activity—including a three-year low in the unemployment rate—quashed recession fears. Another positive factor was better news out of Europe as the European Central Bank provided long-term financing to the debt markets and support for the Continent’s banking sector.

The final four months of the period brought more volatility as the headwinds facing the equity market at the start of the period returned to the forefront. Evidence of slowing economic activity in the U.S. and adverse developments in Europe—including political turmoil in Greece and troubled banks in Spain—buffeted the market, ultimately sending stocks lower.

Overall, however, domestic stocks advanced for the 12 months, though there was a divergence in performance as large-cap stocks posted solid gains, while mid- and small-cap issues produced modest returns (see the table on the next page). Growth and value stocks were also mixed—growth issues outperformed among large-cap stocks, while value shares held up better in the mid- and small-cap segments of the market.

In contrast to the domestic market, international stocks declined sharply for the 12-month period. International equity markets were adversely impacted by the turbulent events in Europe—a possible sovereign debt default in Greece; the spread of the contagion to larger, fiscally troubled European countries such as Italy and Spain; efforts by the European authorities to support the debt markets and financial sector; and renewed political turmoil and faltering banks toward the end of the period. In addition, a number of European countries faced recessions, brought on in part by austerity measures intended to bring fiscal deficits under control. In this environment, European bourses suffered the most significant declines—markets in Greece, Portugal, and Spain fell the most, while Ireland and Belgium held up best. In the Asia/Pacific region, New Zealand and Australia were the best-performing markets, while the Japanese market declined the most.

U.S. bonds posted solid gains for the 12-month period as interest rates fell sharply. Treasury bonds led the market’s advance early in the period as weaker economic growth and worsening European sovereign debt problems led to a flight to quality. In addition, the Federal Reserve introduced “Operation Twist,” which was designed to lower long-term borrowing rates and stimulate more economic activity. This course of action provided a further lift to longer-term Treasury securities.

Market leadership shifted in late 2011 and early 2012, when better economic growth and improving conditions in Europe provided a boost to credit-related sectors of the bond market. In particular, corporate bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield) and commercial mortgage-backed securities outperformed throughout the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.

During the last four months of the period, Treasury bonds benefited from flight-to-quality demand, with yields falling to historic lows amid lackluster economic data and renewed turmoil in Europe. However, corporate bonds also fared well as investors sought higher-yielding investments in a low interest rate environment.

International bond markets rallied sharply for the 12 months as bond yields fell around the globe, with yields in many countries approaching record lows. The main exceptions were peripheral European countries such as Greece, Spain, and Italy, where concerns about fiscal deficits led to higher bond yields. For U.S. investors, however, the positive performance in international bond markets was erased by a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduces foreign investment returns for U.S. investors. The end result was a slightly negative overall return for unhedged international bonds.

Fund Information
 
Each LIVESTRONG Portfolio is a “fund of funds” that invests in other American Century Investments mutual funds to achieve its investment objective and target asset allocation. (See pages 24–25 for the specific underlying fund allocations for each LIVESTRONG Portfolio.) Each LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s target date is the approximate year when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The principal value of the investment is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio is generally intended for investors near, at, or in retirement. There is no guarantee that an investment in any of the funds will provide adequate income at or through an investor’s retirement.

Each target-date LIVESTRONG Portfolio seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset mix. Over time, the asset mix and weightings are adjusted to be more conservative. In general, as the target year approaches, each LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s allocation becomes more conservative by decreasing the allocation to stock funds and increasing the allocation to bond and money market funds. By the time each LIVESTRONG Portfolio reaches its target year, its target asset mix will become fixed and match that of LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio.

Portfolio Performance
 
Within each LIVESTRONG Portfolio, almost all of the domestic equity funds produced positive returns for the 12-month period. Real Estate Fund, which invests in real estate investment trusts, was the top performer, gaining approximately 15% for the reporting period. NT Large Company Value Fund and NT Equity Growth Fund also fared well, generating returns of nearly 10%. The only exception among domestic equity funds was NT Vista Fund, a mid-cap growth fund, which declined modestly for the 12 months.

Reflecting the meaningful decline in international equity markets, LIVESTRONG Portfolios’ two international stock holdings—NT International Growth Fund and NT Emerging Markets Fund—posted double-digit declines for the reporting period.

Among LIVESTRONG Portfolios’ fixed-income components, the leading performer was Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund, which gained more than 9% for the 12-month period. High-Yield Fund also generated solid gains, while International Bond Fund declined slightly.

NT Diversified Bond Fund (the largest fixed-income holding in each LIVESTRONG Portfolio) outperformed the broad bond market indices during the 12-month period. Sector allocation added value, particularly overweight positions in corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities. However, an underweight position in Treasury securities weighed on results.

In late 2011, we added NT Core Equity Plus Fund to each LIVESTRONG Portfolio’s asset mix. This fund is managed to have 100% net exposure to stocks by investing approximately 130% of its net assets in long positions, while 30% of its net assets are sold short. The proceeds from the securities sold short are used to fund the purchase of the additional 30% of long positions.

Outlook
 
Our view on the U.S. economy has changed very little, despite all the ups and downs in economic expectations over the past couple of years. We continue to see a subpar recovery, with economic growth of 1% to 3%. Although we no longer see the housing market as a drag on the economy, employment is still a concern and manufacturing activity appears to be slowing. Meanwhile, inflation in the U.S. remains tame amid weaker economic data and falling commodity prices. While we see a number of factors that argue for higher inflation down the road, the lack of current inflationary pressure gives the Federal Reserve room to act should economic conditions weaken further.

Given this backdrop, we believe equities are attractive relative to bonds and cash-equivalent investments, primarily as a result of stocks’ greater earnings yield versus historically low money market and bond yields. But this attractiveness is mitigated by uncertainty regarding the economy and corporate earnings.

These market dynamics, and the constantly changing investment environment, reinforce our belief that broad-based diversification among asset classes and within asset classes is essential to long-term investing success.

Shareholder Fee Examples

 
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. As a shareholder in the underlying American Century Investments funds, your fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio or the expenses paid during the period. These expenses are, however, included in the effective expenses paid during the period.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2012 to July 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses
 
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
 
26

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. The fees and expenses of the underlying American Century Investments funds in which the fund invests are not included in the class’s annualized expense ratio.
 
(2)
Effective expenses reflect the sum of expenses borne directly by the class plus the fund’s pro rata share of the weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds in which it invests. The effective annualized expense ratio combines the class’s annualized expense ratio and the annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds for the one-half year period reflects the actual expense ratio of each underlying fund from its most recent shareholder report, annualized and weighted for the fund’s relative average investment therein during the period.

Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. The fees and expenses of the underlying American Century Investments funds in which the fund invests are not included in the class’s annualized expense ratio.

JULY 31, 2012

1. Organization

American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2015 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2020 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2025 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2030 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2035 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2040 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2045 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2050 Portfolio and LIVESTRONG 2055 Portfolio (collectively, the funds) are ten funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds operate as “fund of funds,” meaning substantially all of the funds’ assets will be invested in other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds (the underlying funds). Each fund’s assets are allocated among underlying funds that represent major asset classes, including equity securities (stocks), fixed-income securities (bonds) and cash-equivalent instruments (money markets). The underlying funds are not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) for the tobacco industry. The funds are diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. Additionally, the underlying funds are generally diversified and so indirectly provide broad exposure to a large number of securities. The funds will assume the risks associated with their underlying funds. The investment objective of LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio is to seek current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The investment objectives of the nine target-year LIVESTRONG Portfolios are to seek the highest total return consistent with their respective asset mix. The funds pursue their objectives by investing in underlying funds that represent a variety of asset classes and investment styles. For each fund with a target-year, the target asset mix will be adjusted over time to become more conservative. In general, as the target-year approaches, the allocation to stocks will decrease and the allocation to bonds and money market instruments will increase. When a fund reaches its most conservative planned target asset allocation, which is expected to occur on approximately November 30 of the year before the target year, its target asset mix will become fixed and will match that of LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio.

The funds offer the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is not charged an administrative fee. All classes of LIVESTRONG 2055 Portfolio commenced sale on March 31, 2011, the fund’s inception date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in preparation of their financial statements. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuations — The funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute their net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. Investments in the underlying funds are valued at their reported net asset value.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

 
50

 

Investment Income — Income and capital gain distributions, if any, from the underlying funds are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, from the underlying funds are a component of net realized gain (loss).

Expenses — The expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.

Income Tax Status — It is each fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2015 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2020 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2025 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2030 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2035 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2040 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2045 Portfolio, and LIVESTRONG 2050 Portfolio are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2009. All tax years for LIVESTRONG 2055 Portfolio remain subject to examination by authorities. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.

Multiple Class — All shares of each fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly for LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid annually for the nine target-date LIVESTRONG Portfolios. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually for all funds.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Administrative Fees — The corporation has entered into an agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), under which ACIM provides the funds with shareholder services in exchange for an administrative fee (the fee). The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The rate of the fee for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class is 0.20%. There is no administrative fee for the Institutional Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. These fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended July 31, 2012 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — Each fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These fees and expenses are already reflected in the valuation of the underlying funds.

Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc., the parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. The directors of the corporation are also directors of some underlying funds and therefore those underlying funds may be deemed to be under common control with the corporation. The officers of the corporation are also officers of all the underlying funds. ACIM serves as the investment advisor for the underlying funds.

7. Investments in Underlying Funds

The funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the funds within their investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the underlying funds’ net assets.

As of July 31, 2012, the funds, in aggregate, owned 100% of the total outstanding shares of the underlying NT Core Equity Plus Fund, NT Diversified Bond Fund, NT Emerging Markets Fund, NT Equity Growth Fund, NT Growth Fund, NT International Growth Fund, NT Large Company Value Fund, NT Mid Cap Value Fund, NT Small Company Fund and NT Vista Fund.

8. Fair Value Measurements

The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of period end, the funds’ investment securities were classified as Level 1. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the funds’ portfolio holdings.

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2015 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2020 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2025 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2030 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2035 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2040 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2045 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2050 Portfolio, nine of the portfolios constituting American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”) as of July 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. We have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of LIVESTRONG 2055 Portfolio, one of the portfolios constituting the Corporation, as of July 31, 2012, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from March 31, 2011 (the commencement of operations) through July 31, 2011. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2012, by correspondence with the transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2015 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2020 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2025 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2030 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2035 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2040 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2045 Portfolio, LIVESTRONG 2050 Portfolio, and LIVESTRONG 2055 Portfolio of American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. as of July 31, 2012, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods described above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management
 
The Board of Directors
 
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age for an individual director may be extended with the approval of the remaining independent directors.

Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). Mr. Fink is an “interested person” because he currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ACC.

The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

The following table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreements
 
At a meeting held on June 21, 2012, the Funds’ Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreements pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a Fund’s independent directors (the “Directors”) each year.

As a part of the approval process, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. This review was in addition to the oversight and evaluation undertaken by the Board and its committees on a continuous basis throughout the year and included, but was not limited to the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Funds;

the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

the investment performance of the funds, including data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;

the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;

financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Funds, the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and

consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and any potential economies of scale relating thereto.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings and one telephonic meeting to review and discuss the information provided. The Directors also had the benefit of the advice of independent counsel throughout the period.

Factors Considered
 
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and independent counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreements, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

 
100

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services  Generally. Under the management agreements, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Funds. The Board noted that under the management agreements, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Funds

portfolio research and security selection

initial capitalization/funding

securities trading

Fund administration

custody of Fund assets

daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio

shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications

legal services

regulatory and portfolio compliance

financial reporting

marketing and distribution

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Funds is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to monitor trading activities, and in particular to seek the best execution of fund trades, and to evaluate the use of and payment for research. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Funds, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons.
 
 
101

 
 
The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. Taking all these factors into consideration, the Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Funds to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Funds’ performance can be found in the Performance and Portfolio Commentary sections of this report.
 
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreements, the Advisor provides the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the management agreements to be competitive and of
high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, ability to continue to provide services to the fund, and the reasonableness of the management agreement. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.  

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.

 
102

 

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The Funds invest their non-cash assets entirely in other American Century Investments funds. The Funds do not pay an investment advisory fee to the Advisor. Rather, each Fund pays the Advisor an administrative fee and indirectly bears its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Funds and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing each Fund’s expenses to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the expenses of each Fund are reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds’ operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds.

Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between each Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

Retirement Account Information
 
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended July 31, 2012. Our report offers investment performance and portfolio information, presented with the expert perspective of our portfolio management team.

This report remains one of our most important vehicles for conveying information about fund returns, as well as market factors and strategies that affected fund performance.

Flight to Quality as Economic and Financial Uncertainties Resurfaced
 
During the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, the global economy and financial markets struggled to move beyond the lingering aftereffects of the 2008 Financial Crisis and Great Recession. Global economic fundamentals have improved since 2008, but weakened since 2010, with increased uncertainty surrounding near-term economic growth levels in major developed economies such as the U.S., Japan, and Europe. There were also questions about near-term growth levels in emerging economies such as China, and about possible sovereign debt defaults in southern Europe.

These near-term uncertainties manifested themselves in asset returns for the 12 months ended July 31, 2012. Assets perceived to be “safe-haven” investments rallied—the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posted a 38% total return. At the other end of the spectrum, international stock returns for U.S. investors were undermined by a combination of risk-averse investing attitudes, weakening global economic growth, and a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro and other currencies. Commodity prices also declined during the period.

Unfortunately, the instability that triggered much of this flight-to-quality trading remains largely in place, and the coming months may bring additional uncertainties about U.S. presidential election results and what might happen when U.S. tax cuts and other stimulative measures expire in 2013 (the “Fiscal Cliff”). In this uncertain, unstable environment, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using both stocks and bonds, as appropriate. We appreciate your continued trust in us during these unsettled times.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Independent Chairman’s Letter

Don Pratt

 
Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The assets under management in American Century Investments’ funds grow through investors placing new assets in the funds and through market appreciation. Asset growth has been at near record levels over the past two calendar years as market movements were upward, the funds’ relative returns were generally favorable, and the distribution strategies implemented by fund management have been successful.

The board reviews fund performance and distribution strategies on a regular basis. Several years ago, the fund’s management team discussed with the board its plans to grow fund assets in the intermediary, institutional and international distribution channels. These distribution strategies have produced strong positive growth. The growth in the intermediary channel recognizes the funds’ strong relative investment performance and the desire of many shareholders to seek financial guidance. Investors in both the institutional and international channels appear to find the funds’ risk-based investment strategies attractive. The board continues to support fund management’s strategies to increase fund assets and will continue to work to provide the benefits of these gains to fund shareholders.

We continue to receive a steady flow of very thoughtful questions from shareholders. If there are issues that you would like the board to address please email me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com. Thank you for your continued investment in American Century Investments funds.

Best regards,
Don Pratt

Portfolio Commentary

 
Portfolio Managers: Enrique Chang, Scott Wittman, Rich Weiss, and Scott Wilson

In April 2012, portfolio manager Irina Torelli left American Century Investments.

Performance Summary
 
Each of the five One Choice Portfolios advanced for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, with returns ranging from 1.05% for One Choice Portfolio: Very Aggressive to 5.71% for One Choice Portfolio: Conservative (see pages 4–7 for more detailed performance information). The gains for the 12-month period reflected positive returns in the U.S. stock and bond markets, tempered by declines in international stocks and bonds.

Because of the Portfolios’ strategic exposure to a variety of asset classes, a review of the financial markets helps explain much of their performance.

Stock Market Review
 
The U.S. stock market faced significant volatility during the 12 months ended July 31, 2012, but ultimately posted positive overall returns. As the reporting period began, stocks were in the midst of an accelerating market decline as evidence of a slowdown in U.S. economic activity and a worsening sovereign debt crisis in Europe put downward pressure on the equity market.

In early October, however, the stock market bottomed and reversed course, enjoying a substantial rebound through the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. Investors grew more optimistic as signs of improving economic activity—including a three-year low in the unemployment rate—quashed recession fears. Another positive factor was better news out of Europe as the European Central Bank provided long-term financing to the debt markets and support for the Continent’s banking sector.

The final four months of the period brought more volatility as the headwinds facing the equity market at the start of the period returned to the forefront. Evidence of slowing economic activity in the U.S. and adverse developments in Europe—including political turmoil in Greece and troubled banks in Spain—buffeted the market, ultimately sending stocks lower.

Overall, however, domestic stocks advanced for the 12 months, though there was a divergence in performance as large-cap stocks posted solid gains, while mid- and small-cap issues produced modest returns (see the table on the next page). Growth and value stocks were also mixed—growth issues outperformed among large-cap stocks, while value shares held up better in the mid- and small-cap segments of the market.

In contrast to the domestic market, international stocks declined sharply for the 12-month period. International equity markets were adversely impacted by the turbulent events in Europe—a possible sovereign debt default in Greece; the spread of the contagion to larger, fiscally troubled European countries such as Italy and Spain; efforts by the European authorities to support the debt markets and financial sector; and renewed political turmoil and faltering banks toward the end of the period. In addition, a number of European countries faced

recessions, brought on in part by austerity measures intended to bring fiscal deficits under control. In this environment, European bourses suffered the most significant declines—markets in Greece, Portugal, and Spain fell the most, while Ireland and Belgium held up best. In the Asia/Pacific region, New Zealand and Australia were the best-performing markets, while the Japanese market declined the most.

Bond Market Review
 
U.S. bonds posted solid gains for the 12-month period as interest rates fell sharply. Treasury bonds led the market’s advance early in the period as weaker economic growth and worsening European sovereign debt problems led to a flight to quality. In addition, the Federal Reserve introduced “Operation Twist,” which was designed to lower long-term borrowing rates and stimulate more economic activity. This course of action provided a further lift to longer-term Treasury securities.

Market leadership shifted in late 2011 and early 2012, when better economic growth and improving conditions in Europe provided a boost to credit-related sectors of the bond market. In particular, corporate bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield) and commercial mortgage-backed securities outperformed throughout the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.

During the last four months of the period, Treasury bonds benefited from flight-to-quality demand, with yields falling to historic lows amid lackluster economic data and renewed turmoil in Europe. However, corporate bonds also fared well as investors sought higher-yielding investments in a low interest rate environment.

International bond markets rallied sharply for the 12 months as bond yields fell around the globe, with yields in many countries approaching record lows. The main exceptions were peripheral European countries such as Greece, Spain, and Italy, where concerns about fiscal deficits led to higher bond yields. For U.S. investors, however, the positive performance in international bond markets was erased by a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduces foreign investment returns for U.S. investors. The end result was a slightly negative overall return for unhedged international bonds.

Portfolio Performance
 
Each One Choice Portfolio is a “fund of funds” that invests in other American Century Investments mutual funds to achieve its investment objective and target asset allocation. (See page 12 for the specific underlying fund allocations for each One Choice Portfolio.)

Within the Portfolios, almost all of the domestic equity funds produced positive returns for the 12-month period. Real Estate Fund, which invests in real estate investment trusts, was the top performer, gaining approximately 15% for the reporting period. Large Company Value Fund and Equity Growth Fund also fared well, generating returns of nearly 10%. The only exception among domestic equity funds was Vista Fund, a mid-cap growth fund, which declined modestly for the 12 months.

Reflecting the meaningful decline in international equity markets, the Portfolios’ two international stock holdings—International Growth Fund and Emerging Markets Fund—posted double-digit declines for the reporting period.

Among the Portfolios’ fixed-income components, the leading performer was Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund, which gained more than 9% for the 12-month period. Diversified Bond Fund (the Portfolios’ largest fixed-income holding) and High-Yield Fund also generated solid gains, while International Bond Fund declined slightly.

Portfolio Strategy
 
Each Portfolio has a “neutral” asset mix that indicates how the Portfolio’s investments will generally be allocated among the major asset classes (stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents) over the long term. Our management approach involves making modest tactical adjustments to each Portfolio’s actual asset mix to add value and improve the Portfolios’ ability to meet their investment objectives.

We maintained a neutral allocation to stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalent investments for the Portfolios throughout the 12-month period. This neutral positioning reflected a lack of clarity in regard to the global economic and financial environment. However, we made some modest adjustments to our tactical positioning within the stock and bond components of the Portfolios.

Early in the reporting period, we removed a tilt toward growth over value within the equity component. Specifically, we eliminated the Portfolios’ overweight positions in Growth Fund (large-cap growth) and Vista Fund (mid-cap growth), along with corresponding underweight positions in Large Company Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund. As a result of these changes, the Portfolios’ equity components became neutrally positioned across the board.
 
 
10

 

In late 2011, we added Core Equity Plus Fund to the Portfolios’ neutral asset mixes. This fund is managed to have 100% net exposure to stocks by investing approximately 130% of its net assets in long positions, while 30% of its net assets are sold short. The proceeds from the securities sold short are used to fund the purchase of the additional 30% of long positions.

During the 12-month period, security selection in the equity portion was most successful in the Portfolios’ value-oriented holdings—Large Company Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund —as well as Real Estate Fund and International Growth Fund. In contrast, stock selection in Growth Fund and Vista Fund detracted from results.

In the fixed-income component of One Choice Portfolio: Moderate and One Choice Portfolio: Aggressive, we shifted to an overweight position in High-Yield Fund and a matching underweight position in Diversified Bond Fund in the first quarter of 2012. This adjustment reflected our view that high-yield corporate bonds are more attractively valued than other segments of the U.S. bond market.

Diversified Bond Fund outperformed the broad bond market indices during the 12-month period. Sector allocation added value, particularly overweight positions in corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities. However, an underweight position in Treasury securities weighed on results. The remaining fixed-income components generally performed in line with their respective benchmarks.

A Look Ahead
 
Our view on the U.S. economy has changed very little, despite all the ups and downs in economic expectations over the past couple of years. We continue to see a subpar recovery, with economic growth of 1% to 3%. Although we no longer see the housing market as a drag on the economy, employment is still a concern and manufacturing activity appears to be slowing. Meanwhile, inflation in the U.S. remains tame amid weaker economic data and falling commodity prices. While we see a number of factors that argue for higher inflation down the road, the lack of current inflationary pressure gives the Federal Reserve room to act should economic conditions weaken further.

Given this backdrop, we believe equities are attractive relative to bonds and cash-equivalent investments, primarily as a result of stocks’ greater earnings yield versus historically low money market and bond yields. But this attractiveness is mitigated by uncertainty regarding the economy and corporate earnings, so we intend to maintain a neutral position for the Portfolios’ broad asset allocation as we move into the second half of 2012.

Shareholder Fee Examples

 
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. As a shareholder in the underlying American Century Investments funds, your fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio or the expenses paid during the period. These expenses are, however, included in the effective expenses paid during the period.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2012 to July 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses
 
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. The fees and expenses of the underlying American Century Investments funds in which the fund invests are not included in the class’s annualized expense ratio.
 
(2)
Effective expenses reflect the sum of expenses borne directly by the class plus the fund’s pro rata share of the weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds in which it invests. The effective annualized expense ratio combines the class’s annualized expense ratio and the annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds for the one-half year period reflects the actual expense ratio of each underlying fund from its most recent shareholder report, annualized and weighted for the fund’s relative average investment therein during the period.
 
(3)
Other expenses, which include the fees and expenses of the fund’s independent directors and its legal counsel, as well as interest, did not exceed 0.005%.

JULY 31, 2012

1. Organization

American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. The corporation is authorized to issue 3,000,000,000 shares. One Choice Portfolio: Very Conservative (Very Conservative), One Choice Portfolio: Conservative (Conservative), One Choice Portfolio: Moderate (Moderate), One Choice Portfolio: Aggressive (Aggressive), and One Choice Portfolio: Very Aggressive (Very Aggressive) (collectively, the funds) are five funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds operate as “fund of funds,” meaning that substantially all of the funds’ assets will be invested in other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds (the underlying funds). Each fund’s assets are allocated among underlying funds that represent major asset classes, including equity securities (stocks), fixed-income securities (bonds) and cash-equivalent instruments (money markets). The funds are diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. Additionally, the underlying funds are generally diversified and so indirectly provide broad exposure to a large number of securities. The funds will assume the risks associated with their underlying funds. The funds’ investment objectives are to seek the highest total return consistent with their respective asset mix. The funds pursue their objectives by investing in underlying funds that represent a variety of asset classes and investment styles. Generally, more conservative funds emphasize investments in bonds and cash equivalents while more aggressive funds emphasize investments in stocks.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in preparation of their financial statements. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuations — The funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute their net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. Investments in the underlying funds are valued at their reported net asset value.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Income and capital gain distributions, if any, from the underlying funds are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, from the underlying funds are a component of net realized gain (loss).

Expenses — The expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.

Income Tax Status — It is each fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2009. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.

 
25

 

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly for Very Conservative, Conservative, and Moderate. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid annually for Aggressive and Very Aggressive. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually for all funds.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Administrative Fees — The corporation’s investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), does not receive an administrative fee for services provided to the funds.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — Each fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These fees and expenses are already reflected in the valuation of the underlying funds.

Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc., the parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. The directors of the corporation are also directors of some underlying funds and therefore those underlying funds may be deemed to be under common control with the corporation. The officers of the corporation are also officers of all the underlying funds. ACIM serves as the investment advisor for the underlying funds.

6. Investments in Underlying Funds

The funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the funds within their investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the underlying funds’ net assets. As of July 31, 2012, Moderate and Aggressive owned 40% and 30%, respectively, of the total outstanding shares of Core Equity Plus Fund. As of July 31, 2012, the funds, in aggregate, owned 97% of the total outstanding shares of Core Equity Plus Fund.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

 
31

 
 
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of period end, the funds’ investment securities were classified as Level 1. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the funds’ portfolio holdings.

8. Federal Tax Information

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

The accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Any unlimited losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses which carry an expiration date. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of One Choice Portfolio: Very Conservative, One Choice Portfolio: Conservative, One Choice Portfolio: Moderate, One Choice Portfolio: Aggressive, and One Choice Portfolio: Very Aggressive, five of the portfolios constituting American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”) as of July 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2012, by correspondence with the transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of One Choice Portfolio: Very Conservative, One Choice Portfolio: Conservative, One Choice Portfolio: Moderate, One Choice Portfolio: Aggressive, and One Choice Portfolio: Very Aggressive of American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. as of July 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management
 
The Board of Directors
 
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age for an individual director may be extended with the approval of the remaining independent directors.

Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). Mr. Fink is an “interested person” because he currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ACC.

The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

The following table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreements
 
At a meeting held on June 21, 2012, the Funds’ Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreements pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a Fund’s independent directors (the “Directors”) each year.

As a part of the approval process, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. This review was in addition to the oversight and evaluation undertaken by the Board and its committees on a continuous basis throughout the year and included, but was not limited to the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Funds;

the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

the investment performance of the funds, including data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;

the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;

financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Funds, the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and

consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and any potential economies of scale relating thereto.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings and one telephonic meeting to review and discuss the information provided. The Directors also had the benefit of the advice of independent counsel throughout the period.

Factors Considered
 
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and independent counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreements, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

 
40

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreements, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Funds. The Board noted that under the management agreements, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Funds

portfolio research and security selection

initial capitalization/funding

securities trading

Fund administration

custody of Fund assets

daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio

shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications

legal services

regulatory and portfolio compliance

financial reporting

marketing and distribution

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Funds is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to monitor trading activities, and in particular to seek the best execution of fund trades, and to evaluate the use of and payment for research. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Funds, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons.
 
 
41

 
 
The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. Taking all these factors into consideration, the Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Funds to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Funds’ performance can be found in the Performance and Portfolio Commentary sections of this report.
 
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreements, the Advisor provides the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the management agreements to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, ability to continue to provide services to the fund, and the reasonableness of the management agreement. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The Funds invest their non-cash assets entirely in other American Century Investments funds. The Funds do not pay an investment advisory fee to the Advisor. Rather, each Fund indirectly bears its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds. Each of the underlying funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Funds and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing each Fund’s expenses to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the expenses of each Fund are reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds’ operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds.

Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between each Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

Additional Information
 
Retirement Account Information
 
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
