The taxable gain on a surrender of an insurance policy is ordinary income, regardless of how the gain in the insurance plan came about. Near the end of January you'll receive a Form 1099-R with $2,238.46 in box 2a and code D along with code 7 in box 7 (or code 1 instead of code 7 if the contract was considered to be a modified endowment contract, which would make the gain subject to a 10% early-distribution penalty).
