Yes, life insurance is a tax deferred item. If the policy is paid on the death of the insured there is no income tax on the proceeds as long as you never deducted the premiums paid on the policy. You never want to take a tax deduction on the premiums as it makes the proceeds taxable. Estate taxes can attach if proceeds are paid to the estate or a trust. If, however you surrender a life insurance policy that has a cash value you are subject to income taxes. As a matter of full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Georgia and have for 22 years. I also was an agent for a direct writer insurance company for 3 years prior.

In most instances, no income tax is due on life insurance proceeds. (A rare exception would be if the policy was sold, making it a capital asset. Very rare, though.) There is no estate tax on the insurance policy, per se. However, if the value of the decedent's estate, including the proceeds of the policy, exceeds a certain amount ($2 million this year), then the estate would be liable to pay an estate tax. The proceeds of the policy would not be included in the value of the estate if the decedent had no incidents of ownership in the policy at death. An example would be a policy that was owned by an irrevocable trust and the decedent did not own the policy within 3 years of death.
