Joan paid $10,000 in premiums for her whole life insurance policy that now has an $11,000 cash value. How much must she include in her income, if any, if she takes a $10,000 cash value loan from the policy?
She should not inclue any amount in her income.
Withdrawals of any amount from the accumulated cash value of your whole or universal life policy is tax free up to the amount of the premiums you have paid.
since she has loan which is equal to the premium paid, no tax impications arise.
A life insurance policy loan is just a loan from the insurer in which the cash value of your policy is used as collateral
The cash value of $11000 shall be treated as collateral security.
