Life insurance policy that if surrendered early will have to pay a significant $ of Capital Gains tax on more than $400K is there a way to eliminate or reduce this tax?

[Anonymous_ · Accepted solution]

Beyond recognizing any (unrealized) capital losses you might have from securities or other assets, there is little that can be used to offset your capital gain. 

It is unlikely that you would have a net operating loss that could be used to offset all other income, including capital gain.

you might consider making charitable contributions but you need to be able to itemize. other than the $400K we know nothing about your overall tax situation. you might what to confer with a tax pro or tax planner.
