63333 POINTSContact Meview profilePeggy MacePROMost of the U.S.Generally, when a life insurance policy pays the death benefit upon the death of the insured person, the beneficiary does not have to pay income tax on that amount. There are some exceptions, but when dealing with the vast majority of policies, the death benefit is not taxable, making life insurance very attractive in a lot of situations.Answered on May 14, 2013+11+1 this answer

In certain circumstances where the proceeds are paid to a business or paid into the estate, those proceeds could be subject to taxation.Answered on May 14, 2013+01+1 this answer 0flag this answerview more answers by David Racich
