taxable gain on surrender of life insurance policies

[DavidS127]

If you surrender a life insurance policy for cash, you must include in income any proceeds that are more than the cost of the life insurance policy. In most cases, your cost (or investment in the contract) is the total of premiums that you paid for the life insurance policy, less any refunded premiums, rebates, dividends, or unrepaid loans that were not included in your income.

You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total proceeds and the taxable part. When you enter your 1099-R into TurboTax, the sofware will report these amounts on lines 4c and 4d of Form 1040 or 1040-SR.

If this doesn't resolve your issue, please provide more information.
