These advantages include: 1.Tax deferred accumulation of cash values2.Tax free income via withdrawals and policy loans3.Income tax free proceeds to policy beneficiaries at death Tax-deferred accumulation of cash values The basic reason to own indexed life insurance is to provide for your familys financial security in the event of a premature death. However, a secondary motive for buying indexed universal life insurance is the advantage of tax deferred cash value growth. With indexed universal life insurance, for example, cash values will accumulate over time if actual premium payments exceed the policys expenses and insurance costs. Each year, interest is credited to the policys cash value based on the performance of a stock index (i.e., S&P 500, Dow Jones, or NASDAQ). Cash values will continue to grow tax deferred, as long as mortality costs and fees are covered, until they are withdrawn, borrowed or the insured dies. The advantages of tax deferred growth can also be found in other financial and investment products. Annuities and qualified retirement accounts are just two examples of products that also offer tax deferred growth of accumulated values. However, life insurance is the only cash accumulation product available that offers the combination of tax deferred growth of cash values with the ability to structure cash distributions that may be received tax-free. Tax-Free-Income via withdrawals and policy loans The second tax advantage found in an equity-indexed life contract is that cash value distributions may be accessed from the policy tax-free. If structured properly, policy withdrawals and loans can be used to essentially eliminate income taxes on cash received from the life insurance policy. Withdrawal of cash value from a life insurance policy is generally not taxable as long as the amount withdrawn does not exceed the policy premiums that have been paid to date, also known as the policys basis. The Internal Revenue Code Section 7702A provides the definition of life insurance for tax purposes. For specific details on IRC 7702A see, The IRC and Life Insurance Tax Strategies. As long as the life policy qualifies under IRC 7702A, and is not classified as a modified endowment contract (MEC), withdrawals are not subject to tax until cash values withdrawn exceed the policys premium basis. Once the policys basis has been withdrawn, future withdrawals may be subject to income taxation. To avoid taxation on policy distributions above the policys basis, policy loans can be used to access additional cash values tax-free. As long as the insurance policy is not considered a MEC (Modified Endowment Contract), policy loans are not taxable. If cash values are received via policy loans, there is no income tax on the amount borrowed, but loan interest will be charged by the insurance company on any outstanding loan balance. Policy loans do not have to be repaid. However, if an outstanding loan is not repaid before the insureds death, the policy loan balance including any unpaid interest will be deducted from the policys death benefit. Even though policy loans are not taxed, there are certain conditions when taxes on loans may apply. For example, if a policy is surrendered or lapses, income taxes will apply. If a policy is surrendered (cashed in/totally liquidated), any amount of cash values actually received in excess of the policys basis will be subject to income taxation. Existing policy loans are then considered cash distributions and included in the calculation of the policy basis. If a policy lapses, any outstanding loans are treated as cash value distributions and subject to taxation on any amount in excess of the policy basis. Policy lapses may have a devastating effect on existing policy loans as there will be no cash available from the policy to potential taxes. For this reason, many companies offer lapse protection riders that are available on policies where cash accumulation is a primary objective.  HYPERLINK "http://www.equityindexeduniversallifeinsurance.com/life_insurance_tax_advantages.htm" \l "to_top#to_top" Conclusion Income tax free proceeds to policy beneficiaries at death Under the current IRC, life insurance death benefits are payable to a named beneficiary are received income tax free. When an insured dies, life insurance policy proceeds less any policy loans and accrued interest are customarily paid to the policys beneficiary(s) in one lump-sum. This lump-sum is free from any income tax. Tax advantages make indexed universal life insurance a great supplemental option Indexed Universal Life insurance has a unique combination of tax advantages, including tax-deferred growth of cash values, tax-free income via withdrawals and policy loans, and tax-free death benefits. This combination of attributes is not found in any other cash accumulation product. These special tax features make equity indexed universal life a supreme solution for cash growth, tax-free supplement retirement income and family security. What is Equity Indexed Universal Life Insurance? Equity Indexed Universal Life Insurance Equity indexed Universal Life (EIUL) offers numerous advantage including flexible premium payments, low cost life insurance, tax deferred growth of cash values with borrowing ability1, tax free death benefits, and the ability to adjust a policy to meet specific personal or business needs. The major difference with equity indexed universal life is the option to participate indirectly in the upward movement of a stock index without accepting the normal risk associated with investing in the stock market. The actual interest credited to a policys cash value is determined by the annual changes of an equities index (excluding dividends). Most insurance companies use the S & P 500 Index2 as the underlying index for their equity indexed life product With equity indexed universal life, in years where the underlying equity index increases, the policy cash value is increased up to a certain limit usually referred to as the cap. The cap varies among insurance companies but is currently somewhere around 10-14% annually. In years where the underlying equity index is flat or loses value, the cash value is subject to the growth floor. The floor is generally guaranteed to be 0%. Additionally, some companies offer a cumulative guarantee that assures a minimum effective interest rate over a given time period. This combination of the potential to realize higher upside returns without the downside risk makes the equity indexed life insurance policy a unique and attractive cash accumulation vehicle. 1The above tax information is for information purposes only and not intended to be tax or legal advice. 2The S & P 500 (Standard and Poors Composite Price Index) is composed of 500 commons stocks representing major U.S. industry sectors.
