No it is not. It is recorded as revenue for GAAP purposes, but is not considered business income.

Key person life insurance is coverage on the life of a key employee and payable to the employer upon that employee's death. The purpose is to protect the company from the financial loss associated with the loss of the employee. Since the employee in no way benefits from a key person life insurance policy, there are no tax consequences to the employee.
Life insurance premium expense when the corporation is the beneficiary is a permanent difference. It is deducted for book income but not for taxable income. And the proceeds received on such policies result in a book gain but are not taxable.

No but what you do with the money may be taxable.
