ADD MORE LIFE Reduce the Impact of Taxes in Retirement
Since most retirement assets generate a tax bill, taxes can undermine any retirement plans clients may have. But for your affluent clients, this issue will be even worse. And with potential changes in the tax code looming now (and almost every year), no one can predict what a client will face when they actually retire. Fortunately, in addition to a typically tax-free death benefit for loved ones, life insurance can also help by providing supplemental income that is usually federal income tax-free.1 It can be a valuable tool for reducing clients' tax bills and taking more control of their taxes in retirement.
The resources below provide you with an actionable approach to discuss with your clients.

- 1Death benefit proceeds are generally federal income tax-free pursuant to IRC §101(a). Supplemental income is accessed through loans and withdrawals which when left unpaid reduce cash values and death benefits. Loans are charged interest; they are usually not taxable. Withdrawals are generally taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. Loans that remain unpaid when the policy lapses or is surrendered while the insured is alive will be taxed immediately to the extent of gain in the policy. For policies that are Modified Endowment Contracts (MECs), distributions (including loans) are taxable to the extent of income in the policy; an additional 10% federal income tax penalty may apply.
