Where do i enter form 1099ltc. is it taxable income for me?

[Leonard]

You'll receive Form 1099-LTC if you got money from long-term insurance or life insurance under an accelerated death benefits clause.

Here's how to enter your 1099-LTC into TurboTax:

1. Open (continue) your return if it's not already open.
2. From the upper right menu, select search and search for this exact phrase (copy/paste strongly recommended): 1099-ltc, long-term care - distribution
3. Select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
4. On the Any Long-Term Care Contracts? screen, answer Yes to the first question (and Yes to the second question if it applies, otherwise No), select Continue, and proceed.

Generally, any amount received under a life insurance contract on the life of a terminally ill insured or a chronically ill insured will be treated as an amount paid by reason of the death of the insured.  Benefit meeting these requirements will generally be non-taxable income.

I received 1099-LTC form due to the insurance carrier going bankrupt, they supplied a cover letter which stated what I had paid into the long term care policy, the policy was issued after 1996. Is the payment I received taxable and does the amount they said I paid in which was much larger than what I received enter into any calculations?
