Depends. If you paid the premiums with after-tax dollars, then the payouts are tax-free. However, if your employer paid them and did not dedcut them from your pay, then your payouts are taxable. In addtion to that, if you split the cost of the premiums with your employer, and your half was paid with after-tax dollars, than the same percentage your employer paid is the percentage of payout that becomes taxable.
Yes. However, the interest payout is not income, so you don't have to pay income tax on it.
You mean a casualty insurance payout? The amount that is for the loss of property is not taxable - as long as you didn't (and don't) claim a casualty loss on it for tax. (The payment means you have no tax loss).

No, all monies from life insurance pass tax free. After you set up any kind of vehicle that earns interest, that interest will be taxed.
