Life insurance

Me and all extended family live in Texas. My mother-in-law is diagnosed with terminal cancer. She has a Single Payment Interest Sensitive Whole Life policy. Does the benefit count as ordinary income to the beneficiary?

posted

No. Life insurance benefits are not taxable income to the beneficiaries.
