Of a participating whole Life policy is cash surrendered. which is taxable?
1 Participating dividends and any amount over the premiums paid is taxable
2 The cash amount plus the interest earned on policies loans plus dividends less premiums paid are taxable.
3 Only the surrender amount less the premiums paid is taxable
4 Only interest earned and dividends are taxable
It's not 1, since any dividends you receive means you are overpaying your premiums. Its defined as a refund in insurance industry.
It's not 2. Since any interest on policy loans has no relation to you. Only the company has to report it. Its like paying interest on credit card bills.
The answer is 3. When you surrender a policy, you are subjected to surrender charges and taxes. The IRS recognize you have receive additional income and you will be tax at ordinary income tax rate.
It's not 4 since interest earned on policies are tax-deferred.

With that understood, unless you got a HUGE %'age return on the DIVIDENDS, I wouldn't THINK that you would be TAXED at ALL!!
SEE AN ACCOUNTANT!!
