insurance buyout

larry967 · ‎January 17, 2020

i have a long term care policy - the co is offering to buyout my policy - they will refund the premiums I have paid with no interest (i get my money back) this is a "qualified ins plan" all paid with after tax money.

Will I owe any tax on the refund?

No, you will not owe taxes on the company's buyout of your policy since you paid the premiums with after tax dollars. The benefits of tax-qualified long term care insurance policies are generally received tax-free by the policyholder. Tax-qualified long term care insurance policies are treated the same way qualified health insurance is treated.
