If I am the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, do I pay taxes on the money I receive?
Life insurance proceeds paid to you are used in the calculation of the gross estate. The value of any insurance received is subject to the unified credits and inheritance tax exemptions explained later. This last statement is true if you elect to receive the proceeds in the form of a single lump sum. ChaCha!
