Life insurance policies can be great tools for financial planning. However, when it comes to cash surrender value, understanding the tax implications is key.
The cash surrender value is essentially the amount you'd receive if you were to surrender your policy, minus any fees or penalties. Depending on how much you've paid into the policy over the years, some or all of this amount may be taxable.
The first step is to determine the cost basis of your policy, which is generally the total premiums paid over time. If the cash surrender value exceeds this amount, the excess is considered taxable income.
To make this calculation, identify the total premiums paid into your policy. This is your initial investment.
Then, subtract the cost basis from the current cash surrender value. The remainder is subject to tax.
Knowing these numbers can help you make an informed decision, whether you're planning to cash out for retirement or start a new business. Thinking about turning that cash into a new venture?
