Are dividens for life insurance policies taxable?
I have several life insurance policies that I have been paying on for several years. I am interested in cashing in the dividends and spend the money to pay my credit card debt.
Will I have to pay income tax if I cash in the dividends or will I be able to receive the full amount of the dividends without having to figure a percentage off to pay income tax?
