If you did a 1035 Exchange, none of the proceeds would be taxable.  A 1035 exchange is a provision in the tax code which allows you, as a policyholder, to transfer funds from a life insurance, endowment or annuity to a new policy, without having to pay taxes.  If it was a 135 exchange, then the code in Box 7 of the 1099-R would be "6".  If you did not do a 1035 exchange, some of the proceeds could be taxable.
