There is no clear cut answer for this question as the IRS to date has not provided definitve guidance. I also must make a disclaimer that I am not providing tax or legal advice, and it is always best to consult with your CPA. Generally speaking, the common accepted taxation belief for life settlements is as follows: The amount of the settlement offer that is equal to your annual premium payment - this amount of the offer would likely be treated as non-taxable. The amount of the settlement offer that is equal to the difference between the cash surrender value and the annual premium on the policy - this amount of the offer would likely be treated as ordinary income The amount of the settlement offer that equals the difference between the cash surrender value and the settlement offer - this amount of the offer would likely be treated as capital gains. Hope that gives you a good starting point.
