If by "termination" you mean that you surrendered the long term care policy, then only the amount you received that exceeds the premiums you paid would be taxable, as long as you didn't deduct the premiums.
The surrender of an insurance policy or endowment contract for its cash surrender value, as distinguished from an exchange of policies or contracts, results in taxable income where the amount received on surrender exceeds the premiums or consideration paid.
When you surrender the policy, the amount of the cash basis is considered a tax-free return of principal. Only the amount you receive over the cash basis will be taxed as regular income. Any refund on a complete surrender or cancellation of the contract shall be includible in gross income to the extent that any deduction or exclusion was allowable with respect to the premiums.
If you find that part of the amount you received is taxable, and the company won't issue a 1099, you can enter it on your return in TurboTax as "Other Income". In TurboTax Online:
- Sign into your account, your return, and click "Pick up where I left off
