Can I deduct the life insurance premiums I pay on my tax return?
Allan Madan, CA
Life insurance premiums are usually not deductible for tax purposes. However, some exceptions do exist such as if the beneficiary is a registered charity or if the insured is requested by the bank to buy life insurance as collateral for obtaining a loan. The good news from a tax perspective is that the death benefits are paid out tax-free to the beneficiary.
