If I cash out an insurance policy, will I have a tax liability?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

If the cash surrender value is greater than the premiums and you surrender the policy, the excess is earnings and taxable income. You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total proceeds and the taxable part. Report these amounts on lines 16a and 16b of Form 1040.
