Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2020
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 28.8%. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the dividends received deduction ("DRD") and tax credits. Because the Company reported no income or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a meaningful effective tax rate cannot be calculated. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 2.0% and 6.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the DRD and tax credits. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, which became effective on March 27, 2020, has not had any material impact on corporate income tax. Tax Sharing Agreement The results of the Company's operations are included in the consolidated tax return of Voya Financial, Inc. Generally, the Company's consolidated financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company's activities during the current and preceding periods pursuant to the provisions of Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740) as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Voya Financial, Inc.'s consolidated income tax return group with the exception of any net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, which are recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement. If the Company instead were to follow a separate taxpayer approach without any exceptions, there would be no impact to income tax expense (benefit) for the periods indicated above. Also, any current tax benefit related to the Company's tax attributes realized by virtue of its inclusion in the consolidated tax return of Voya Financial, Inc. would have been recorded directly to equity rather than income. Under the tax sharing agreement, Voya Financial, Inc. will pay the Company for the tax benefits of ordinary and capital losses only in the event that the consolidated tax group actually uses the tax benefit of losses generated. Tax Regulatory Matters For the tax years 2018 through 2020, Voya Financial, Inc. participates in the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP"), which is a continuous audit program provided by the IRS. The IRS finalized the audit of Voya Financial, Inc. for the period ended December 31, 2018. For the periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the IRS has determined that Voya Financial, Inc. would be in the Compliance Maintenance Bridge ("Bridge") phase of CAP. In the Bridge phase, the IRS does not intend to conduct any review or provide any letters of assurance for the tax year.
