I will opt out of my long care policy. All premiums made will be returned to me. Is this amount taxable?

if you have been deducting the premiums on your returns ( in the past) then to the extent this contributed to your getting a deduction ( i.e. it  was above 7.5%, then 10% and now again 7.5%) then yes , it may be taxable ( ideally should be amended  on those years ). Any growth  i.e. you receiving more than your contribution total will be taxable  in the year received.
