There are a lot of tax benefits with life insurance.
And one of the biggest things is that the money grows tax deferred and the death benefits paid income tax free to your heirs.
That's a huge tax benefit.
It happens very rarely with any other assets.
If you think about the taxation of different types of assets, you put money into a bank account or a CD, it earns interest, the interest is taxable.
If you put money into a 401k, that's a different type of tax treatment.
You can put money in there, it doesn't pay taxes, and it grows tax deferred, but everything you take out is taxed.
That's a tax deferred benefit.
There's also a tax-free type of account, kind of like a Roth account, where the money going in is taxed, but then it grows.
There's usually some restrictions on it, like you can't access it until age 59 1⁄2, but then everything coming out gets to be tax-free.
Life insurance combines aspects of all three of those.
So premiums are paid with after-tax dollars.
The cash value can grow well beyond what you've paid in premiums.
That's tax-deferred.
You can access the money, unlike most Roth accounts, by taking policy loans.
Policy loans are not taxable.
When the death benefit is eventually paid out, then that is income tax free to your heirs.
So that's some of the tax preferred treatment of life insurance.
