Gets a little complex/weird: Basically up to a certain amount @50K a year is a non taxable employee benefit. Then any amount above the amount determined by an IRS formula as what a normal premium would be, for that persons age & gender, etc., is to be included in taxable income...with any contributions to that premium the employee made able to offset the inclusion. (So, ya get 50K for free and pay either tax on the value of the policy or premium on the policy through employee contributions/election).

Taxes on a individual life insurance policy is generally not taxable in any manner. A main factors in deciding the taxabiity of this is who paid the premiums for the life insurance and whether or not it was deducted on a tax return. If the premium was paid through a group life plan where the employer paid the premiums entirely then it would be taxable.
