Best Answer

Life insurance proceeds paid to you because of the death of the insured person are not taxable unless the policy was turned over to you for a price. This is true even if the proceeds were paid under an accident or health insurance policy or an endowment contract.

Proceeds not received in installments. If death benefits are paid to you in a lump sum or other than at regular intervals, include in your income only the benefits that are more than the amount payable to you at the time of the insured person's death. If the benefit payable at death is not specified, you include in your income the benefit payments that are more than the present value of the payments at the time of death.

Should who's insurance cover who's car??? The Brother who owns the car will have to file the claim with his insurance policy. Insurance follows the car, not the driver. If you didn't have the Sister listed on the policy as a driver the company can deny the claim for material misrepresentation. Then you will have to pay the claim yourself.


Your sister you own a car you have never owned a car or had insurance before so the insurance is in your sisters name because it is cheaper are you covered in case you are involved in an accident?

Unless you live with your sister and are sharing the insurance policy with your sister's car as well, you are commiting insurance fraud. If yours is the only vehicle the policy needs to be written in your name and based on your underwriting info, address, insurance history, credit history, etc. Rewrite the policy immediately. There is no sense in chancing something this important, it's better to pay an accurate rate and have your insurance work, then pay for hope.
