Why Life Insurance? Tax Free Death Benefit Tax Deferred Growth
Tax Free Income Tax Free Long Term Care The Only Self-Completing Investment Portfolio No Pre-59 ½ Penalties No RMD No Contribution Limits – Minimum or Maximum! (Excessive advance funding of a life insurance policy can result in the policy being treated as a modified endowment contract) Flexible Funding Options Life insurance death benefit proceeds are generally excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income for income tax purposes. There are few exceptions such as when a life insurance policy has been transferred for valuable consideration. Loans and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit, cash surrender value, and may cause the policy to lapse. Lapse or surrender of a policy with a loan may cause the recognition of taxable income. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts may be subject to tax when a loan or withdrawal is made. A federal tax penalty of 10% may also apply if the loan or withdrawal is taken prior to age 59 ½. This material is for Institutional/Broker-Dealer use only.
