Life Insurance is not tax deferred as someone mentioned erroneously here... Life insurance is a tax free benefit, so in general you cannot write it off on taxes.. And loans are also not taxable, so you can access the growth in your whole life tax free even if it grew interest (generally taxable) by utilizing a policy loan... In the case of S Corp's there are a number of allowable instances in writing off life insurance... Such as when an employer pays for life insurance as a part of a beneits package.. The business can write off those premiums.... But personally, its not the case... In general, if uncle sam can't touch the proceeds of a death benefit or tax its growth, then there is no way uncle sam will let you write those premiums off.. You have to pay taxes on those premiums in exchange for a much larger tax free benefit, or a tax free loan against what would be taxed if outright withdrawn..

A permanent life insurance policy remains in effect for the life of the insured, with premium payments being made for the same period. Permanent insurance consists of a premium and a cash value or savings component. Like term life insurance, it pays off in the event of your death, but unlike a term life policy, it operates differently. The premiums for a permanent policy are nearly five to ten times the amount of the term life rates. A portion of these premiums go into the cash value element of the policy, and over time, these savings can grow.
