Both options will effectively end the coverage and may incur possible tax issues. The amount you receive in a surrender that is more than the amount you had paid to that point in premium is considered taxable.

It would be best to contact the insurance company and discuss what you wish to do and why.

Also, depending on your age, health and the face amount of the policy it may be in your best interest to sell it rather than cash it in. The value in selling it if you are eligible is generally greater than the cash value alone. Of course this would incur greater tax penalties. In any event when thinking of eliminating any life po0licy, think carefully!
