In the US, life insurance proceeds (the death benefit you mother will collect) is income tax free.
The one exception is life insurance paid by an employer (your father's place of work) for his benefit. In that case the first $50,000 of death benefits are income tax free, the rest is taxed. If your father had a $250,000 policy at work, $50,000 would be tax-free and $200,000 would be taxed.
Grey Rainbow is wrong
After all this is settled, you and your mother should each meet with an insurance agent of a financial planner. It sounds like you have not received any thorough financial advice in a long time.
Sorry for your loss. Good Luck. |

no, not unless there was a gain in the policy. in that case, the policy would have cash value and anything over the amont paid would be taxable. |

I am sorry to hear about your father.
Here's a complete overview of tax information about life insurance:
When a person insured by a life insurance policy dies during the term of the policy the proceeds are paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries.
Life insurance death benefit proceeds are usually not subject to state and federal income taxation. But, if there is no beneficiary, the death benefit proceeds of the life insurance policy may be included in the estate of the deceased. Then, it may be subject to state, federal and inheritance taxes.
Also, the proceeds may be subject to federal estate taxation.
If you own all or part of the life insurance policy at the time of your death, the proceeds may be included in your gross estate for federal estate tax purposes.
Also, federal gift taxes and state inheritance taxes may apply to life insurance policy proceeds under certain circumstances.
You may want to consult a tax advisor regarding your questions about any estate, income and gift taxes related to any life insurance policies you own or are considering buying.
Also, your insurance agent should be able to tell you if your life insurance policy benefits will be taxable.
Finally, different taxes may apply to the benefits paid by your life insurance policy if the death benefit is paid to the beneficiary in installments, instead of as a lump sum. The interest portion, if any, of each installment is usually treated as taxable to the beneficiary at ordinary income tax rates, while the remaining principal portion is tax-free.
I hope that helps! Take care and best of luck. |

No. Life insurance replaces a "loss". |

Life insurance is tax free to beneficiary. If no beneficiary was named, or the benefit will be going into an estate (or there was an estate at all), the estate will be taxed. Your mother could be going to see the accountant about other assets. |

Under IRS rules, life insurance proceeds are not taxable. Its like receiving a car insurance claim when your car gets wrecked or destroyed. |

Tax laws change every year. Some things that are taxable now didn't used to be years ago.
To be on the safe side, your mother should review those things listed as taxable income when the new tax forms come out next year. Or check with an accountant. |

Life Insurance benefits are considered tax free. If she is being told that taxes need to be paid, then she is being scammed. The only time you would have taxes is if you have loans and lapsed the policy while still alive.
Hope this assists you. |

Not on the principal, but the interest is taxable. |
