Are life insurance benefits taxable?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Life Insurance
Death benefits are usually not subject to federal income tax. There are exceptions, though, if the IRS deems your insurance policy to be an investment in disguise. Your insurance agent should be able to tell you if your policy benefits will be taxable. It depends on whether or not you have other life insurance set up, as well as prearranged burial. If you have no life insurance, I would strongly advise a burial policy, since the cost can range from 5 to 10 thousand without being extravagant.
