Form 1099-R From Insurance Company Can Be Bad Tax News
For the next decade, everything seemed fine, but a grim mathematical truth was grinding away. Both the cash surrender value of the policy and the loan balance were increasing. And, since Monarch is presumably in business to make money, the rate on that the loan balance was higher than the rate by which the cash value was going up. Eventually the loan balance is bound to catch up. So in 2011, Mr. Mallory needed to make a payment of $26,061.67 in order to keep the policy in force. He didn’t make the payment. So that was the end of the of policy which was eaten by the loan.
Now if all that meant was that Mr. Mallory finally paid tax on the $46,300 that he had drawn out over and above his premium, that would have been painful, but really not so bad. That is not the way it works though. The policy loan which liquidated the policy includes all the accumulated interest giving Mr. Mallory proceeds of $237,897.25 which works out to a taxable amount of $150,397.25 yielding a tax of $40,846. That would be 88% of the the $46,300. Even Bernie Sanders doesn’t want people to be paying that much.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
