if they are death benefit proceeds no. if it is cash value proceeds then any withdrawals over the premiums paid are taxable, any loans on the cash value are not taxable. if it is a hybrid/combo life/long term care policy, then no they are not. all of this is assuming that the policy was paid with after tax dollars, not pre tax.

There are several factors to consider when determining if life insurance is part of a decedent's probate estate and whether the proceeds are taxable in the US. Taxation of estates is an extremely complex area of law. You should always consult with an attorney and tax expert for advice regarding tax issues.Generally and briefly:If the decedent owned the policy on his/her own life, the insurance proceeds will be a part of the taxable estate (gross estate). However, most estates no longer reach the threshold of taxability regarding the federal estate tax. (If the policy was owned by someone other than the decedent, the insurance proceeds will not be part of the taxableestate.)If the decedent named a beneficiary, the proceeds will be paid directly to the beneficiary, bypassing probate (but remember as stated above the proceeds are considered part of the taxable estate). The proceeds are generally not taxable to the beneficiary.If the decedent did not name a beneficiary, the proceeds will become part of the estate and as such, vulnerable to creditors. The proceeds will be distributed according to the terms of the will or by the laws of intestacy if there is no will.

Hence if you have claimed the entire loss as a deduction the amount of insurance you get is income - because essentially, you overdeducted the loss. If you have made no loss deduction claim, then u=insurance is NOT taxable as it is onlyr returning you to the position you were in before the loss.
