Tax-Free Income
Fixed Index Universal Life ( FIUL ) insurance allows you to protect the people you care about the most while also building savings. When you pay FIUL premiums, a portion of your payment goes toward covering the cost of insurance (i.e., the death benefit) plus any administrative fees and other policy expenses. The remaining portion of the premium can help grow your cash value.
A Fixed Indexed Universal Life policy combines permanent death benefit coverage with a cash value component that grows based on the performance of a market index (e.g., S&P 500) rather than a fixed interest rate. The cash value gains interest when the index rises, but is protected from losses via a 0% floor, ensuring no loss of principal during market downturns. These funds increase over time, based on how much you pay in, and how funds in the cash value grow. You can borrow money against your policy tax-free to help cover big expenses, like your child’s college tuition, and you can borrow or withdraw from the cash value whenever you want. Also, you don’t have to perform any kind of credit check if you decide you use the money, using the policy as collateral, with no approval process, but interest accrues and unpaid loans reduce the death benefit.
Tax-Free Long-Term Care Coverage
Many consumers are reluctant to buy long-term care insurance because they fear that their investment will be wasted if they do not use it. But if you’re living with a serious illness, a common policy feature known as an accelerated death benefit rider could step in to help you cover medical bills and other expenses while you’re still alive. Also known as a “living benefit rider” or “accelerated living benefits rider,” it can make a trying time a little easier.
An FIUL Accelerated Death Benefit (ADB) is a feature included in some life insurance policies that allows you to receive a tax-free advance on your life insurance death benefit while you are still alive. Sometimes you must pay an extra premium to add this feature to your life insurance policy, called a rider. Sometimes the insurance company includes it in the policy for little or no cost. The rider for long-term care lets you access a portion of your death benefit tax-free to pay for care if you become chronically ill (unable to do 2 of the 6 activities daily living) or terminally ill. These funds can be used for qualified services like home care, assisted living, or nursing homes. The amount received while living (the ADB) is subtracted from the death benefit, and the beneficiaries receive the remaining death benefit tax-free.
Tax-Free Death Benefit
A Fixed Indexed Universal Life insurance policy provides a death benefit that is paid to beneficiaries free of federal income tax. This permanent life insurance policy offers protection, allowing for a tax-free, lump-sum payout that can cover expenses such as debts, funeral costs, or estate planning. This makes it a powerful tool for estate planning, allowing wealth to pass to heirs without immediate income tax. This is a considerable advantage, as it ensures that the full amount of the death benefit can be used by the beneficiaries without the burden of income taxes.
