Life Insurance Premiums NOT Tax Deductible

Any personal or business life insurance premiums paid to benefit an officer, employee or yourself are NOT tax deductible. If paid through a business these premium expenses must be reversed out each year as a permanent tax adjustment. All life insurance plans owned by an employer must be reported on form 8925 each year. Consequently life insurance payouts are tax free to the beneficiary, so at least it’s fair in that sense.
