Over the years, Tyler pays subsequent premiums of $1,500 on the policy. Upon Caleb's death, Tyler receives the proceeds of $25,000.As a result, what amount is Tyler required to include in his gross income?

Answer 1

Answer:

He can include $16,000 in his gross income.

Explanation:

As the life insurance policy was transferred for some valuable consideration so the amount of valuable consideration will be deducted from the insurance proceeds.

Also premium paid by the transferee will be deducted from proceeds.

Now as the transferee received $25,000 from insuarance company.

So Tylor can include $25,000 less $7,500 less $1,500 in his gross income.

He can include $16,000 in his gross income.
