A policy loan is available only against a whole life policy, not a term life policy. Whole life accumulates cash value and a term life policy does not. The insurance policy will specify the interest rate that will accrue on the loan. The loan does not have to be repaid, but interest will continue to accrue if it does not. The insurance company will permit only a specified percentage of the cash value to be borrowed, and there must be a sufficient accumulation of cash value to a policy loan to be made. You should contact the insurance company directly to make arrangements for the loan.
No. It is a loan, not income.
yes you can
Yes, but only if it's a cash value type of policy, not a term policy.
If you take a loan against the policy, the amount you receive is not considered taxable. However, if you later surrender (cash-in) the policy, the amount you received in the loan and in the surrender will then be considered taxable income.
If you take out a loan against the cash value of a policy and never pay it back, the full loan value PLUS interest would be deducted from the benefit if it were to pay out.

You can obtain a loan on the policy. This depends on the terms and conditions of the insurer.
One year is not enough time to accumulate a cash value to take a loan out against.

If life insurance policy is the type that has "cash value," the answer is yes. In most cases, policy owners may access a policy's cash value under the policy loan guidelines. If this loan is not repaid at the time of death, the death benefit is reduced by the outstanding amount which includes interest that has accrued on the loan. The interest rate on the loan will be specified in the policy. Term insurance does not accumulate cash value. Therefore, if that is what you have, there is no "balance" to take out. In theory, however, if a lender otherwise finds you to be creditworthy, a term policy could be pledged as collateral for the loan. This would involve naming the creditor as a beneficiary of the policy for as long as the loan is outstanding. It would be important to remove the lender from the policy as soon as the loan is paid.

You can take out the net cash value on your policy if you have cash value, or you can assign the policy as collateral for a loan, and change the beneficiary to be the lender.
If one is offered, then yes.
If a loan is taken against a participating policy, the dividends earned on that policy will be calculated on the total cash value, which is reduced by the amount of the outstanding loan. This means that the dividends will be lower than they would be without the loan. Additionally, any dividends paid out can be used to offset the loan interest or can be applied to reduce the loan balance. It's important to monitor the policy to ensure it remains in good standing.
Not quite sure but I believe a wash loan is when you take a loan from your cash value life policy and pay it back with interest, most of the interest goes back into your own account with the insurance company taking a very small percentage.
