Question: A policyowner surrenders a whole life policy with a Cash Surrender Value (CSV) of $50,000 and an Adjusted Cost Basis (ACB) of $20,000. How much of the surrender value is taxable?

Answer options:

  • $50,000 (The full CSV)
  • $20,000 (The ACB amount) ✅ $30,000 (The CSV minus the ACB)
  • $0 (Life insurance proceeds are always tax-free)

Correct answer: $30,000 (The CSV minus the ACB)

Explanation: The Adjusted Cost Basis (ACB) represents the non-taxable portion of a policy's cash value. When a policy is surrendered, the taxable amount is the Cash Surrender Value (CSV) minus the ACB. If CSV is $50,000 and ACB is $20,000, then $30,000 is taxable as income.
