2 The information in this presentation is designed to be general in nature and for educational purposes only. Guardian, its agents and employees do not give tax or legal advice. For specific advice, seek and rely upon the advice of a qualified tax advisor or attorney. GEAR # Approved: Expiration
3 True or False? Life Insurance Proceeds are income tax free. q True q False ü It depends
4 Exceptions to Income Tax Free Proceeds Policies transferred for valuable consideration Unless to an exempt transferee Insured, partner of insured, partnership in which insured a partner, or a corporation in which insured is a shareholder or officer Policies owned by qualified plans Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax IRC 101(j)
5 101(j): Employer Owned Life Insurance General Rule: EOLI is income taxable 101(j)(1) In the case of an employer owned life insurance contract, the amount excluded from gross income of an applicable policyholder... shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the premiums and other amounts paid by the policyholder for the contract. Federal Income taxation of EOLI can only be avoided when An exception fits AND the Employer complies with specific notice and consent rules
6 EOLI Defined It s Not Just COLI A life insurance contract that is owned by a person engaged in a trade or business and under which such person (or a related person) is directly or indirectly the beneficiary under the contract and covers the life of an insured who is an employee of the applicable policyholder on the date the contract is issued.
7 Transition Rule and Section 1035 Exchanges Section 101(j) applies to contracts issued after August 17, (j) doesn t apply to a contract issued after that date pursuant to a section 1035 exchange for a contract issued on or before that date. However, any material increase in the death benefit or other material change causes the contract to be treated as a new contract and thus subject to section 101(j). Increases in death benefit because of a PUA rider issued before 8/17/2006 should NOT be a material change
8 Employer Not Just Corporations Employer is a person engaged in a trade or business C Corporations, S Corporations, LLCs, Partnerships, AND Sole Proprietorships Not just COLI

Proceeds used to buy an equity interest in policy holder s business B. Notice and Consent of insured Prior to issuance of policy Total amount to be issued Guardian Form EOLINOTICE101j0809 Employer must maintain records and file IRS Form 8925
13 What About That Notice & Consent? Employee: is notified in writing that the applicable policyholder intends to insure the employee's life and of the maximum face amount for which the employee could be insured at the time the contact was issued; provides written consent to being insured under the contract and that such coverage may continue after the insured terminates employment; and is informed in writing that an applicable policyholder will be a beneficiary of any proceeds payable upon the death of the employee.
14 Qualifying for an Exception 2.

17 Annual Compliance IRS Form 8925
18 Can Past Omissions Be Fixed?
