So my friend asked me this question and I’m not sure about the answer. For life insurance that has investment component, is there any circumstance where the withdrawal of the cash value of this life insurance is not taxable? I’m pretty sure the cash value proceed is taxable but not 100% sure.
The thinking is to use this as another retirement investment option/strategy. I personally prefer to stick with term life insurance and invest the extra money myself but I’m wondering if it is possible to use cash value of the investment portion of life insurance to minimize tax in retirement.
Thanks in advance.
