Expert Solution

A
The insurance benefits are ordinarily not of an “income” nature for tax purposes and thus the benefits received by the taxpayer are not subject to tax.
There fore the benefit received by Keith if he had paid all the premiums then it is not taxable.
B
If the premium is paid by the employer on behalf of Keith then the benefit received is taxable in the hands of Keith.
