The article, titled “Why Share Your Life Insurance With Uncle Sam” explains the various tax regulations pertaining to life insurance and discusses ways in which excess taxation can be avoided.

Scott Carlyon writes, “If you own life insurance, you probably bought it to protect your family if something happens to you.  But did you know that half of your life insurance proceeds could end up going to the U.S. Treasury rather than to your heirs?”
